Categories Custom Properties in PropertyGrid in C#

First look at the Form :

As for the code now:

Create one class for your custom properties. Declare all variables depending on your properties.

private string myFirstName = "";

private string myLastName = "";

private string myGender = "";

private string myAddress = "";

private string myContact = "";

Also you can set the default selected property in the PropertyGrid.

[DefaultPropertyAttribute("Name")]

Declare the constructor for getting the values of the variables.

public mySetCustomeProperty(string fn, string ln, string gen, string add, string con)
{

    myFirstName = fn;

    myLastName = ln;
    myGender = gen;
    myAddress = add;
    myContact = con;
}

Then Write the properties & also write the logic for the get & set the value for the particular variable.

public string FirstName
{

    get { return myFirstName;}
    set { myFirstName =value ;}
}

For the category use the "CategoryAttribute" keyword above each property. Set the same name that you want to keep in one category.

[CategoryAttribute("Name")]

In the above code all the properties written below this line will be displayed in the Name Category.

Then create the object of the created class & pass the related parameters into it.

mySetCustomeProperty myObj = new mySetCustomeProperty(txtFirstName.Text, txtLastName.Text, cmbGender.SelectedItem.ToString (), txtAddress.Text, txtContactNumber.Text);

Finally load all the properties into the PropertyGrid.

myPropertyGrid.SelectedObject = myObj;

On the button Click event it will load all the properties into the PropertyGrid & display them in the categories.

private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    mySetCustomeProperty myObj = new mySetCustomeProperty(txtFirstName.Text, txtLastName.Text, cmbGender.SelectedItem.ToString (), txtAddress.Text, txtContactNumber.Text);
    myPropertyGrid.SelectedObject = myObj;
}
