Controls that inherit off of System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl
have a property called Font
. The type is System.Web.Ui.WebControls.FontInfo
.
When working with these controls in the designer, it breaks out the Font
property into multiple properties like Font-Bold
, Font-Italic
, etc. When working with these same WebControls in the codebehind, there's only a Font
property (no Font-Bold
, Font-Italic
, etc).
How can this behavior be manually recreated when creating WebControls? Specifically, what combination of System.ComponentModel
attributes can show/hide these properties in Intellisense?
The property that you'd like to expand (Font
in this case) should have attribute System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility
set to System.ComponentModel.DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content
. This is detailed in the following link
