How to hide a object's inherited properties ?
I create a user control object and show its properties through a propertygrid object in my application. It is sure that there are 100 hundred of properties inherited from System.Windows.Forms.UserC

I think it's pointless, thats the purpose of inheriting from something, you inherit all its properties, unless you override them
You could use a custom attribute and then in your properties page only display those properties with the custom attribute... Basically you create a class that inherits from attribute:
public class ShowMyProperty : Attribute {
}
Then when everyou want to display a property in your form you would do something like:
[ShowMyProperty]
public string MyString {
get { return myString; }
set { myString = value; }
}
Then when you are building your properties page you get the property info...
PropertyInfo[] piArray = myClass.GetProperties();
Then go through the properties...
foreach ( PropertyInfo pi in piArray ) {
ShowMyProperty[] smp = (ShowMyProperty[])pi.GetCu
if ( smp != null ) {
// perfrom action for property to be displayed
}
}

One again that i can't get the right solution for a not-in-a-book question.
To tomvergote, your solution is a way to do. but override 100 properties is not a clever way, especially when you don't know how it does.
I will post here what i think it is the best solution: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms&mid=05525833-418c-44e7-a2d5-f39a07743c82
However, the point is MUST give, therefore 250 point will go with your. ^^''

[BrowsableAttribute (False)]
public override xxxx ()
{
base.xxx ();
}
for all of the inherited properties ? T_T
