.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

MergablePropertyAttribute

Synopsis

This attribute adorns a property to indicate whether it can be merged with the properties owned by other classes in a designer that supports a set of objects. The AllowMerge property returns this state.

For example, the System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid can bind to several objects to display the common properties. If any one of these properties is marked with a MergableProperty(false) attribute, that property will not appear in the grid, even if all objects provide a property of that name and signature.

public sealed class MergablePropertyAttribute : Attribute {

// Public Constructors

   public MergablePropertyAttribute(bool allowMerge);

   public static readonly MergablePropertyAttribute Yes;  // =System.ComponentModel.MergablePropertyAttribute
