Gets or sets a value indicating whether the properties of the control are read-only at design time.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.Design
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

[ObsoleteAttribute(L"The recommended alternative is to inherit from ContainerControlDesigner instead and to use an EditableDesignerRegion. Regions allow for better control of the content in the designer. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202")]
public:
property bool ReadOnly {
	bool get ();
	void set (bool value);
}

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean
true, if the properties of the control are read-only at design time; otherwise, false.

The ControlDesigner class is read-only, by nature. Read/write features are provided by adding a DesignerRegion object or using base classes, such as the ContainerControlDesigner class.

NoteNote

The ReadOnly property is obsolete. Derive from the ContainerControlDesigner class to which you can add editable designer regions or from the TemplatedControlDesigner object to which you can create editable designer regions in templates.
