BrowsableAttribute Constructor

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the BrowsableAttribute class.

Namespace:  System.ComponentModel
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    browsable As Boolean _
)

public BrowsableAttribute(
    bool browsable
)

Parameters

  • browsable
    Type: System.Boolean
    true if a property or event can be modified at design time; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

When you mark a property with the BrowsableAttribute constructor of the value true, the value of this attribute is set to the constant member Yes. For a property marked with the BrowsableAttribute constructor of the value false, the value is No. Therefore, when you want to check the value of this attribute in your code, you must specify the attribute as BrowsableAttribute.Yes or BrowsableAttribute.No.

Examples

The following example marks a property as browsable. This code creates a new BrowsableAttribute, sets its value to BrowsableAttribute.Yes, and binds it to the property.
