Properties Dialog Control

[THEROB]

I am moving a project from VB6 to C#. In VB6 we used Smart UI to create a properties dialog box. Does anyone know how to create a properties dialog box in C#. I have been told to use a DataGrid - but can't figure out how to have groups of properties.

I can't use the PropertyGrid Control either because it only takes a control for input - I need to dynamically add, remove and hide properties.

Thanks

Yes, you can use the built in propertygrid control. Use the .SelectedObject property to assign the class or control to bind to it.

Thanks for the reply - I need to be able to add to the property grid dynamically - If I use a class or control they will always have the same captions - I would like to be able to have a collection class style - so I could just do a .add(Caption,Value, Style)

Thanks again

I have seen a article on http:www.codeproject.com that does the dynamic properties.
I'll see if I can find it again.

Here are a few articles on the topic.

Thanks for that the PropertyGridEx was exactly what I was looking for.
