Properties

Category

Gets the name of the category to which the member belongs, as specified in the CategoryAttribute.

ComponentType

The type of component the framework expects for this property. Notice this returns element.GetType(). That is because the object that is being browsed when this property is shown is an ModelElement. So we are faking the PropertyGrid into thinking this is a property on that type, even though it isn't.

Gets the type converter of the property descriptor.
