Hi,
I implemented a simple control - HorizontalBevel that can be used to
render horizontal lines on a form (2 pixel in Height). I wanted to
display only what make sense for this control in properties window, so
I wrote a HorizontalBevelDesigner class, which removes most properties
by overriding PostFilterProperties() method.

I also want to set GenerateMember to false, so that only local variable
is generated in the InitializeComponent(), instead of member variable.

Sound simple, but already spent about 45min. trying to figure this out.
Neither Component nor ComponentDesigner have this property.

Regards,
-- Vladimir

OK. Found out how to do this:
If someone is interested:

bool SetGenerateMemberProperty(bool value)
{
IExtenderListService service =
(IExtenderListService)this.GetService(typeof(IExtenderListService));

IExtenderProvider provider =
Array.Find<IExtenderProvider>(service.GetExtenderProviders(),
delegate(IExtenderProvider item) { return
item.GetType().FullName ==
"System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader+ModifiersExtenderProvider";
});

MethodInfo methodInfo =
provider.GetType().GetMethod("SetGenerateMember", BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.Instance);

if (methodInfo != null)
{
methodInfo.Invoke(provider, new object[] { base.Component,
false });
return true;
}

return false;
}
