Specifies whether a property can only be set at design time.
See Also: DesignOnlyAttribute Members
Syntax
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.All)]
public sealed class DesignOnlyAttribute : Attribute
public sealed class DesignOnlyAttribute : Attribute
Remarks
Members marked with the System.ComponentModel.DesignOnlyAttribute set to true can be set only at design time. Typically, these properties exist only at design time and do not correspond to a real property on the object at run time.
Members that either have no attribute or are marked with the System.ComponentModel.DesignOnlyAttribute set to false can be set during run time. The default is false.
A property with the System.ComponentModel.DesignOnlyAttribute set to true has its value serialized to the .resx file instead of the InitializeComponent method.
