A component editor provides a user interface for editing the properties of a control. Component editors are invoked from control designers by using the Property Builder menu item from the context menu on the control. Component editors that are derived from the System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.BaseDataListComponentEditor class are invoked from designers derived from the System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.BaseDataListDesigner class, and are used to edit the properties of controls that are derived from the System.Web.UI.WebControls.BaseDataList class. For examples of such controls, see System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid and System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataList.

The BaseDataListComponentEditor.EditComponent(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext, object, System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window) method displays a component editor for the associated control, if one can be created. The BaseDataListComponentEditor.GetInitialComponentEditorPageIndex method returns the index of the initial page to be displayed in the component editor.
