Hello:

What namespace do I need to import in order to use the description
attribute in c#? I have class with custom properties and I would like
to have a description of the properties displayed on the property
page.

Here is the format I'm using:

[Description("User's Name")]
public string Name
{
get
{
return m_strName;
}
set
{
m_strName = value;
}
}

all it tells me is that type of namespace name cannot be found.

thanks.

System.ComponentModel.

The way to find this out in future is to look for the class name in
MSDN (DescriptionAttribute in this case) - that tells you the full name
of the class.
