My DisplayName Attribute Didn't Work

Hi there, I have tried to use DisplayName attribute to my property

[DisplayName( "Element Type" )]
public ElementClassType ClassType
{
   get{...}
}

But PropertyGrid still display "ClassType" instead of "ElementType".
Is there any property that should I set in PropertyGrid, or something I miss.

Thanks in advance.

No, that should work, and I have given it a quick test and it is working for me.  Can you try it with a current nightly build (from http://www.mindscape.co.nz/products/wpfpropertygrid/nightlybuilds.aspx) please?  Thanks!

I have download from the latest build and it works.

My WpfPropertyGridEnterprise installer date is January 29, 2008.

Is this a new feature added after that date?
If so, i need to get the new version.

Thanks.

Yes.  I think DisplayNameAttribute support was added about a month after RTM.  We are planning to release v2 fairly soon, which will include all the enhancements and fixes made since RTM (and will be a free upgrade), or of course you can use the current nightly.

Ok, thanks for your help Ivan.

Hello,

I'm also trying to use the DisplayName attribute ... my vb code looks like this on the business object I'm editing with the WPF Property Grid:

Imports Mindscape.WpfElements

Imports Mindscape.WpfPropertyGrid

<DisplayName("Status")> _

Public Property ArchiveStatus() As String

Get

Return _formVersion.ArchiveStatus

End Get

Set(ByVal value As String)

_formVersion.ArchiveStatus = value

End Set

End Property

The compiler error I get is that 'DisplayName is not defined'.  I'm importing the right stuff and I also have the mindscape dlls referenced in my project. What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

DisplayNameAttribute isn't part of the Mindscape DLLs; it's in System.ComponentModel.  So I believe you need either to import the System.ComponentModel namespace or to qualify the attribute as <System.ComponentModel.DisplayNameAttribute("Status")>.

Doh!
