How to make a BindingSource see nested properties

[Joanna Carter [TeamB]]

Hi folks

I need to be able to add "virtual" properties to a class, possibly via a
TypeDescriptionProvider so that creating a new BindingSource can see a faked
nested property.

e.g.

public class Customer
{
public string Name
{ get... set... }
}

public class Order
{
public Customer Customer
{ get... set... }
}

I want the BindingSource to see a property Order.CustomerName or similar
that accesses the Name property of the Customer property of the Order. But
without adding a calculated property to the business class.

I tried the TypeDescriptionProvider attribute on the class with a custom
provider that added the "property" but to no avail.

Any ideas ?
