NotifyParentProperty

When dealing with structs like Size, the NotifyParentPropertyAttribute isn't really useful. If the Width property is modified, then the associated parent property needs to be updated as well for the changes to take effect (since the modification of the Width property is actually on a copy of the struct).

The sub-properties of a struct can only be changed in the PropertyGrid if the TypeConverter, associated with the struct, overrides CreateInstance and GetCreateInstanceSupported (the latter of which would need to return true). The PropertyGrid uses these methods to build an updated copy of the struct and update the parent property. This would also update the "value" of the struct, since it would have changed.

For classes that would want to display summary information like the Size type does, then the NotifyParentPropertyAttribute is useful. In the case of classes, you will be modifying the actual instance and not a copy.

Regardless, I've added support for NotifyParentPropertyAttribute to the PropertyGrid and an accompanying QuickStart. Both will be available in the next maintenance release.

Thanks. My situation is a class not a struct. I was just using Size as an example.

Looking forward to the update.
