how do I make a property only modifiable by code and not design time?

[Lucas Sain]

Hi,

How do I make a property only modifiable by code and not design time. I
have a property that should only be modifieable by code and not design time,
What attribute should I use?
I tried [DesignTimeVisible(false)] but this gives me an compile error:
"Attribute 'DesignTimeVisible' is not valid on this declaration type. It is
valid on 'class, interface' declarations only."

Help is appreciated

[Browsable( false )] ??

Maybe?

Lucas,

You will want to apply the Browsable attribute to your property, with a
value of false, to indicate that designers shouldn't modify it, like so:

[Browsable(false)]
public string MyProperty
{
get
{
}
set
{
}
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

That did the job.
Do you know how to make a code in an event not execute in design time. I
have a Baseform that has X code in the event "VisibleChanged". All my forms
inherit from this form. The code in this event always gets executed in
design time, how do I avoid this??
