.NET Framework Class Library
DesignerVerb Class

Represents a verb that can be invoked from a designer.

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

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
<PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name := "FullTrust")> _
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, SharedState := True)> _
Public Class DesignerVerb _
    Inherits MenuCommand
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As DesignerVerb
C#
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, SharedState = true)]
public class DesignerVerb : MenuCommand
Visual C++
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Name = L"FullTrust")]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, SharedState = true)]
public ref class DesignerVerb : public MenuCommand
JScript
public class DesignerVerb extends MenuCommand
Remarks

NoteNote:

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

A designer verb is a menu command linked to an event handler. Designer verbs are added to a component's shortcut menu at design time. In Visual Studio, each designer verb is also listed, using a LinkLabel, in the Description pane of the Properties window.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create DesignerVerb objects and add them to the design-time shortcut menu for a component.

Visual Basic
Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Collections
Imports System.ComponentModel.Design

'  This sample demonstrates a designer that adds menu commands
'   to the design-time shortcut menu for a component.
'
'   To test this sample, build the code for the component as a class library, 
'   add the resulting component to the toolbox, open a form in design mode, 
'   and drag the component from the toolbox onto the form. 
'
'   The component should appear in the component tray beneath the form. 
'   Right-click the component.  The verbs should appear in the shortcut menu.
