Hiding unwanted properties in custom controls

Question

Is this the way to hide properties in derived controls?

public class NewButton : Button

...

[Browsable ( false )]
public new Con         


        

Answer 1

Why don't you make it private? It guarantees that ancestors will not see it. Edit: In this case you have to inherit a new class from the base and use your new class, which now hides ths property.

public class MyTextBox: TextBox
{
...
        private new ContentAlignment TextAlign
        {
          get { return base.ContentAlignment; }
          set { base.ContentAlignment = value; }
        }
}
