BrowsableAttribute.Browsable Property

The following example checks to see whether MyProperty is browsable. First the code gets the attributes for MyProperty by:

• Retrieving a PropertyDescriptorCollection with all the properties for the object.

• Indexing into the PropertyDescriptorCollection to get MyProperty.

• Saving the attributes for this property in the attributes variable.

Then the code sets myAttribute to the value of the BrowsableAttribute in the AttributeCollection and checks whether the property is browsable.

// Gets the attributes for the property.
 AttributeCollection attributes = 
    TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this)["MyProperty"].Attributes;

 // Checks to see if the property is browsable.
 BrowsableAttribute myAttribute = (BrowsableAttribute)attributes[typeof(BrowsableAttribute)];
 if(myAttribute.Browsable) {
    // Insert code here.
 }
