is it possibile to dynamically configure PropertyGrid Content

Hi,

I have a PropertyGrid that displays the properties of a generic object that has some generic properties whose meaning change at runtime.
So, for some properties, I can't have static information available at compile time but only at run-time.

To be more specific I have some properties that must be shown only in certain situations that I know only at run-time.
I can't decorate such properties with a
[Browsable(false)] attribute,
since I can't know statically this information.

In addition I have similar problems with DisplayNameAttribute && DescriptionAttribute.
 
I can't supply, for such generic properties, a static description at compile time, since I can know the exact values to put to these attributes only at run-time.

So, my question is: is there a possibility to define the browsability and the DisplayName and DescriptionAttribute of a generic property at run-time ?

Thank you,

Silvio

Hi Silvio   
  
Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.   
  
We have prepared sample based on your requirement. In this sample we have changed the “Browsable, DisplayName and DescriptionAttribute” at runtime by using PropertyDescriptor. But all the attributes changed at runtime except “Description Attribute”.   
  
Please download the sample from the below link

Issue: “Description” attribute doesn’t change at runtime
