EditorBrowsableState Enumeration

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Specifies the browsable state of a property or method from within an editor.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Enumeration EditorBrowsableState

public enum EditorBrowsableState

Members

	Member name	Description
	Always	The property or method is always browsable from within an editor.
	Never	The property or method is never browsable from within an editor.
	Advanced	The property or method is a feature that only advanced users should see. An editor can either show or hide such properties.

Remarks

This class is used by a visual designer to determine what is visible to the user. For example, the IntelliSense engine in Visual Studio never shows methods or properties that are marked as Never. Use EditorBrowsableAttribute to specify the EditorBrowsableState for a member.
