How do I get the WinForm Designer to totally ignore a property on a custom control?

Question

This must be a FAQ, but I can’t find a duplicate question!

There are lot of different attributes that control what the WinForm Designer does with properties

Answer 1

I think you can use [Browsable (false)] and [DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)]

The second attribute prevents the property from appearing in InitializeComponent
