Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The NotifyParentPropertyAttribute type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |

| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | NotifyParent | Gets or sets a value indicating whether the parent property should be notified of changes to the value of the property. |
![]() | TypeId | When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals | Gets a value indicating whether the specified object is the same as the current object. (Overrides Attribute::Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Gets the hash code for this object. (Overrides Attribute::GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | IsDefaultAttribute | Gets a value indicating whether the current value of the attribute is the default value for the attribute. (Overrides Attribute::IsDefaultAttribute().) |
![]() | Match | When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Default | Indicates the default attribute state, that the property should not notify the parent property of changes to its value. This field is read-only. |
![]() ![]() | No | Indicates that the parent property is not be notified of changes to the value of the property. This field is read-only. |
![]() ![]() | Yes | Indicates that the parent property is notified of changes to the value of the property. This field is read-only. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetIDsOfNames | Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfo | Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::GetTypeInfoCount | Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.) |
![]() ![]() | _Attribute::Invoke | Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.) |
Apply NotifyParentPropertyAttribute to a property if its parent property should receive notification of changes to the property's values. For example, in the Properties window, the DataGridView::RowTemplate property has nested properties such as Height and DefaultCellStyle. These nested properties are marked with NotifyParentPropertyAttribute(true) so they notify the parent property to update its value and display when the property values change.
