    DependsOnAttribute Class
    In This Topic
    Takes a list of strings in parameter that represent the names of properties that affect the current property. It is placed over any properties of the PropertyGrid's selectedObject.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Property, 
   AllowMultiple=True, 
   Inherited=True)>
Public Class DependsOnAttribute 
   Inherits System.Attribute
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As DependsOnAttribute
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, 
   AllowMultiple=true, 
   Inherited=true)]
public class DependsOnAttribute : System.Attribute
    Example

    [Editor( typeof( FirstNameEditor ), typeof( FirstNameEditor ) )]
    [DependsOn( "IsMale", "LastName" )]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }


    Here, the property "FirstName" has its own editor. If the properties "IsMale" or "LastName" are modified, the editor of property "FirstName" will be re-evaluated. This allows a user to modify the editor to change its background, ItemsSources, or create a new editor.

    It is also possible to have different properties with the same "DependsOn".

    [Editor( typeof( FirstNameEditor ), typeof( FirstNameEditor ) )]
    [DependsOn( "IsMale" )]
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    [Editor( typeof( LastNameEditor ), typeof( LastNameEditor ) )]
    [DependsOn( "IsMale" )]
    public string LasttName { get; set; }

    Here, the editors of properties "FirstName" and "LastName" will be re-evaluated if the property "IsMale" is changed.
