Property Descriptions in Custom Components

[Jason Perry]

Hey Gang,

I'm writing my first custom component and am trying to add the text that
describes the custom properties. I'm talking about the text that displays in
the property inspector (design time) when you highlight a property, in the
bottom box that describes what it is for.

I've tried:

/// <value>This is my property</value>
/*This is my property*/
/**This is my property*/
//This is my property

Thanks for the help!

Hi Jason,

You need to use the DescriptionAttribute attribute (System.ComponentModel
namespace) on the property.

[Description("This is a description of the property")]
public int MyProperty
{
}
