for set StandardValues without xaml


public class Properties
{
  [StandardValues(obj1,obj2,...)]
  [Editor(typeof(ComboBoxPropertyEditor), typeof(PropertyEditor))]
  public object Property { set; get; } }
}

Hi Vadim,

When it comes to attributes like that, we prefer to leverage the attributes provided by .Net. Most customers would not want to reference our assemblies from their "data" objects.

But, that is probably something you could accomplish using custom code. You would need to implement a custom TypeConverter that overrides GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext) , GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext), and GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext). In those methods, you'd search for your custom attribute and return the appropriate values. You could then use the [TypeConverter(typeof(CustomTypeConverter))] on the properties. You should be able to cast the Context to a IPropertyDataAcessor or one of the concrete types to get the appropriate attributes.

I'm not sure you'd be able to define a list of objects in that manner though, as attributes need constant values.
