.NET Windows Control Custom Property

[tgoodmannz]

Hi,

I'm sure this is easy but I can't seem to find it in the M$ Doco....

How can I add a custom property to a VB.NET Windows control?

I previously used the Add Property wizard in VB6 ... how do I do it in VB.NET???

Thanks!

Private _age As Int32
 
Property Age() As Int32
    Get
          Return _age
    End Get
    Set(ByVal Value As Int32)
          _age = Value
    End Set
End Property

Thanks DevGrp ...

Just to confirm .. I'm looking for Properties available at
Design time .. when I added a class propertie it didn't seem to be available in the Forms designer ... can you confirm?

Cheers,
Tim

I think you might have to use attributes.

You need to use the System.ComponentModel namespace like:

<System.ComponentModel.Category("NameOfYourCategoryGoesHere")> _

You can also set the description, etc.

Excellent! Thanks VBCC - I knew it would be easy ...

For future reference the complete code looks like:

 
    <System.ComponentModel.Description("The SOAP Header with the control"), _
    System.ComponentModel.Category("SOAPHeader")> _
    Public Property WebServiceSOAPHeader() As String
        Get
            Return mWSSOAPHeader
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
            mWSSOAPHeader = Value

        End Set
    End Property
