	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetTypeFromName	Returns a type using its name. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.)
	GetValue	gets the current value of the property on a component. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.GetValue(Object).)
	GetValueChangedHandler	Retrieves the current set of ValueChanged event handlers for a specific component (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnValueChanged	Raises the ValueChanged event that you implemented. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.)
	RemoveValueChanged	Enables other objects to be notified when this property changes. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.)
	ResetValue	Resets the value for this property of the component to the default value. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.ResetValue(Object).)
	SetValue	Sets the value of the component to a different value. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object, Object).)
