how do I make a property only modifiable by code and not design time?

[Lucas Sain]

Hi,

How do I make a property only modifiable by code and not design time. I
have a property that should only be modifieable by code and not design time,
What attribute should I use?
I tried [DesignTimeVisible(false)] but this gives me an compile error:
"Attribute 'DesignTimeVisible' is not valid on this declaration type. It is
valid on 'class, interface' declarations only."

Help is appreciated

Lucas,

You will want to apply the Browsable attribute to your property, with a
value of false, to indicate that designers shouldn't modify it, like so:

[Browsable(false)]
public string MyProperty
{
get
{
}
set
{
}
}

Hope this helps.

[Browsable( false )] ??

Maybe?

Thanks,

That did the job.
Do you know how to make a code in an event not execute in design time. I
have a Baseform that has X code in the event "VisibleChanged". All my forms
inherit from this form. The code in this event always gets executed in
design time, how do I avoid this??
