Hello Code Project,

I'm currently working on a user-control containing a list of MyClass objects.
This list should be editable from the designer.
How do I add support for it?

A bit of background info on the class.
MyClass has only two propeties name Text and Image, I would like to make these accessible.

In short, I'm looking for a solution/article to add design time support for new classes.

@nbgangsta why dont you provide some code to let others see what have you written and what could possibly be wrong.

A lot hinges on the Browsable attribute - you need that on any property you're going to show in the properties window.

I know of the Browsable attribute, it's the Design Time support for adding items of my new class that is bugging me.

I believe if you would have tried the suggestion @Nagy Vilmos has provided you would have got the solution on first result page.

Anyway here is the link which i believe exactly what you are looking for:

There's a site called :bob: that could help. Try searching the articles for "c# list control with images" to start with.

Besides the obvious joke, the link is actually broke.
I'd appreciate it if you would post a link to the article you're refering to.

1 Search term = "c# list control with images"
2 You may need to click seach as well; life's hard

The second link here seems to contain all the OP needs.

Groulien 3-May-11 9:33am

I'll look into it although the third(Which you call 2nd link) seems rather empty, it's not explained or fully implemented.
Still, thanks.
