propertygrid

I want to avoid placing an EditorAttribute on every instance of a certain type that I've written a custom UITypeEditor for. I can't place an EditorAttribute on the type because I can't modify the source. I have a reference to the only PropertyGrid instance that will be used. Can I tell a PropertyGrid instance (or all instances) to use a custom UITypeEditor whenever it encounters a specific type? Here is an MSDN article that provides are starting point on how to do this in .NET 2.0 or greater. You can usually associate editors etc at runtime via TypeDescriptor.AddAttributes . For example (the

In my application I have a property grid to allow users to change settings. This works fine for strings and other value properties, but what I need now is a list of strings that can be edited by users. The problem is that if I have MyPropertyGrid.SelectedObject = new { Test = new List<string>() }; in my code and the user attempts to edit the Test property, when they click on the Add button, the following error occurs: Constructor on type 'System.String' not found This makes sense as strings are immutable.

I want to be able to add and remove properties and add "dynamic types", what I mean with that is a type that result in a runtime generated dropdown in the propertygrid using a TypeConverter. I have actually been able to do both those things (add/remove properties and add dynamic type) but only separately not at the same time. To implement the support to add and remove properties at runtime I used this codeproject article and modified the code a bit to support different types (not just strings). private System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid

Now I can manually add browsable, but when I make a change to my entity (still developing project so lots of changes to entity) any additional attributes I add go away. I attempted to set [Browsable(true)] two ways other ways: http://ardalis.com/adding-attributes-to-generated-classes and http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/adodotnetentityframework/thread/617ebfca-0f68-4b90-83fd-0da758fadbd0/ Both seem to
