hi guys!

again with some interesting Question.

i've some public methods in class. i dont want to show this methods in
the dropdown list while you are typing the code in .net IDE (it long
story that why i dont need those methods in the list).
i guess there are some arrtibutes those can prevent showing method in
the popuped dropdown list but as i dont have much idea about this
attributes, i need your expert help on this.

please let me know if you know how can i do this or may be some other
resource that can help me to find out the way of doing.

thanks,
Lucky

Yes, you can do this but - why would you have /Public/ methods that you
don't want to show to people trying to /use/ your class?

Phill,

The attribute you are looking for is called EditorBrowsableAttribute

Hi Phill,
i tried this,

'VB
<System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Never)>
Public Sub myHiddenMethod()

End Sub

// C#
[System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
public void myHiddenMethod()
{
}

but unfortunately in c# this attribute fails to hide methods. i dont
know why. i'm still workin on it.

In the VB version below, either it's a typo, or you
need an underscore after the > to indicate continuation.

Hmm,

I've used this attribute with c# and it worked perfectly for me as far as I
remember.
