Modifying structure property in a PropertyGrid

Question

Why SomeClass.ClassField.StructField property doesn\'t change in a propertyGrid? It seems, propertyGrid doesn\'t call SomeClass.

I tweaked Simon Mourier's answer to avoid the need for ValueTypeTypeConverter to be a generic:

public class ValueTypeTypeConverter : System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter
{
    public override bool GetCreateInstanceSupported(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public override object CreateInstance(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Collections.IDictionary propertyValues)
    {
        if (propertyValues == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("propertyValues");

        object boxed = Activator.CreateInstance(context.PropertyDescriptor.PropertyType);
        foreach (System.Collections.DictionaryEntry entry in propertyValues)
        {
            System.Reflection.PropertyInfo pi = context.PropertyDescriptor.PropertyType.GetProperty(entry.Key.ToString());
            if ((pi != null) && (pi.CanWrite))
            {
                pi.SetValue(boxed, Convert.ChangeType(entry.Value, pi.PropertyType), null);
            }
        }
        return boxed;
    }
}
