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

If needs are simple and design appearance is no issue, try writing an extension or two, e.g.,

public static class Extensions
{
    public static void ApplyStyle( this DataGridView dataGridView )
    {
        dataGridView.RowHeadersVisible = false;
        ...
    }
}
