    Hide property at runtime.

    I am looking for a way to hide a property I created on a user control from a
    property grid at runtime but allow it to be seen at design time.

    Any ideas?

    I tried setting the category of the property to 'Design' and that does not
    do it.

    I tried adding the 'DesignOnly' attribute and that does not do it.

    I am about to break out Reflector and have a peek myself to see if I can
    find it from the libraries themselves because as best I can tell the
    Usercontrol base class does it for the Name, GenerateMember, Locked, and
    Modifiers properties. I just want to tack my property in there.

    Hmmmm

      I do remember that it's an attribute ---

      pretty sure it's <Browsable(Fals e)>

          That hides it always from the property Grid. I only want the property to be
          hidden when you look at the properties of the control at runtime.

          Here is some background. I am designing a control that is going to be
          manipulated at BOTH runtime (on a custom design surface) and at design time.
          I need a few properties seen in the property grid ONLY at design time and
          not when the controls properties are seen in a property grid at runtime.

          Its a bit confusing I know but I have seen this be done right before my very
          eyes. All the standard Usercontrol properties in the Design category act
          this way.
