im curious why "Default" keeps showing at the top

MSDN[^] states:

All items should be assigned to groups before they are displayed. Any items that are not assigned to a group will appear in the default group, which has the header label "DefaultGroup{0}". The default group is not contained in the Groups collection, and cannot be altered. It is primarily useful in debugging to ensure that all items have been properly added to groups.

Yes, I did. And since then it is that the standard entry is being translated but the arrow button indicating a drop down list is missing.

lukeer wrote:

I can get the arrow button back by decorating with an additional UITypeEditor. That UITypeEditor's GetEditStyle() method is to return UITypeEditorEditStyle.DropDown regardless of its context.

And another dropdown, this one without TypeConverter doesn't drop down either.

As you will see neither GetStandardValuesSupported nor GetStandardValues are overridden yet. Would that be necessary?

What I don't understand is that by not overriding GetStandardValuesSupported and GetStandardValues I suspect the base class to take care of them.

lukeer wrote:

Why doesn't the base class make PropertyGrid show a drop down list while without applying my derived class at all it works?

Also, can you pass back collections, datasets, etc from an .exe to another .exe? Admittedly, I've never tried
