Prevent Winforms Designer from Generating Property Values for Inherited Controls

Question

I have a custom DataGridView, let\'s say as such:

public MyGridView : DataGridView
{
    public MyGridView()
    {
         BackgroundColor = Co         


        

Answer 1

There is a simpler way to assign DefaultValue to Color:

public class MyGridView : DataGridView
{
    public MyGridView()
    {
        BackgroundColor = Color.Red;
    }

    [DefaultValue(typeof(Color), "Red")]
    public new Color BackgroundColor
    {
        get { return base.BackgroundColor; }
        set { base.BackgroundColor = value; }
    }
}
