Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the WebBrowsableAttribute attribute to mark a property on a Web Parts control as available to be displayed in a PropertyGridEditorPart control. This example is part of a larger example found in the PropertyGridEditorPart class overview.

[Personalizable(), WebBrowsable(), WebDisplayName("Job Type"), 
  WebDescription("Select the category that corresponds to your job.")]
public JobTypeName UserJobType
{
  get
  {
    object o = ViewState["UserJobType"];
    if (o != null)
      return (JobTypeName)o;
    else
      return _userJobType;
  }

  set { _userJobType = (JobTypeName)value; }
}

<Personalizable(), WebBrowsable(), WebDisplayName("Job Type"), _
  WebDescription("Select the category that corresponds to your job.")> _
Public Property UserJobType() As JobTypeName
  Get
    Dim o As Object = ViewState("UserJobType")
    If Not (o Is Nothing) Then
      Return CType(o, JobTypeName)
    Else
      Return _userJobType
    End If
  End Get
  Set(ByVal value As JobTypeName)
    _userJobType = CType(value, JobTypeName)
  End Set
End Property

Remarks

The PropertyGridEditorPart control provides a generic user interface (UI) that enables users to edit custom properties on WebPart and server controls placed in WebPartZoneBase zones. The editing UI is provided for properties that are marked in the source code with the WebBrowsable attribute (from the WebBrowsableAttribute class). When a property is marked with this attribute, a PropertyGridEditorPart control creates the editing UI based on the type of the property, and uses a PropertyDescriptor object if needed to convert the value in each editing control to the type of the property.

Constructors

WebBrowsableAttribute()	Initializes a new instance of the WebBrowsableAttribute class with the Browsable property set to true.
WebBrowsableAttribute(Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the WebBrowsableAttribute class with the specified value for the Browsable property.

Fields

Default	Represents an instance of the WebBrowsableAttribute class with the Browsable property set to the default value, which is false.
No	Represents an instance of the WebBrowsableAttribute class with the Browsable property set to false.
Yes	Represents an instance of the WebBrowsableAttribute class with the Browsable property set to true.

Properties

Browsable	Gets a value indicating whether a PropertyGridEditorPart control should display a specific property of a Web Parts control.
TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for the display name value.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()	Determines whether the current instance is set to the default value.
Match(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

_Attribute.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32)	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute)
_Attribute.Invoke(UInt32, Guid, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute)
