    Custom Control Properties

    I have a control that I need to remove some properties from. I have marked
    them obsolete so that the rest of the dev team can continue to work,
    however, if they delete them, it automatically regenerates them in the auto
    generated code. Is there a way to mark them so they dont re-generate those
    properties?

    I dont want to just remove them, because I dont want everyone to have
    compile errors until they are fixed.

    Thanks,

    Rick

      Apply the System.Componen tModel.Designer SerializationVi sibilityAttribu te to
      the property.

          If you use the Browsable(False ) attribute on the control, it will no longer
          show up in the properties window, and the designer won't generate code for it.

              That's what I thought as well - until I found it didn't work and had my
              Developers complaining that 20-odd miscreant properties were
              reappearing in their code!

              Even applying the DefaultValue Attribute didn't quite cut it - properties
              that returned Enum's /still/ got persisted into code.

              The DesignerSeriali sationVisibilit y Attribute is the /only/ way I've found
              to remove them that works reliably.

                  I have Browsable(False ) already (And EditorBrowsable too), but it still
                  shows up.

                      How about the DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y attribute (set to Hidden)
