Get Form Designer To Ignore Properties

[k.mellor@theiet.org]

Hi all,

I am using Visual Studio 2005.

I have a User Control with the following property

[Browsable (false) ]
public String MyProperty
{
get { return this.my_propert y_var; }
set { this.my_propert y_var = value; }
}


When I place my User Control on a form I cannot see the property in
the Property Browser (good), but default code does get generated in
InitializeConpo nent

......////....
MyControl.MyPro perty = "";
......////....

How can I prevent this?

I really ask as my properties in my live code are DateTime properties
and their default values get set to the day/time the form was designed
and ideally I do no want to set them to DateTime.Now in the Load
method or similar.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Try this attribute:

using System.Componen tModel

[DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y(DesignerSeria lizationVisibil ity.Hidden)]

Thank you both for your replies.

[DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y
(DesignerSerial izationVisibili ty.Hidden)]

works perfectly.
