Attributes of properties

[Joey Callisay]

I'm experimenting with the attributes.

I overrided the Dock property of my control and set a new
DescriptionAttribute. However I was surprised that it still has the
CategoryAttribute since it is still included in the Layout group, meaning it
still has its previous attributes?. Is this the real behavior, I don't seem
to get the big picture of attributes

[Description("Joey")]
public override DockStyle Dock
{
get
{
return base.Dock;
}
set
{
base.Dock = value;
}
}

Thanx a lot

The design-time attributes are inherited. This link should answer your
question:
