Attributes

Remarks

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.

Note

The ReadOnly property is obsolete.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.
