Getting the Type Descriptor Provider at runtime
in [CSharp]

From: Christian on 28 Jan 2010 03:48 Hi Edward, i've got the same problem, is there still a solution? Thanks Christian Edward Beach wrote: Getting the Type Descriptor Provider at runtime 16-Dec-09 I have a implemented a custom TypeDescriptorProvider / CustomTypeDescriptor solution for a custom type to display custom properties when an instances of my custome type is selected by the PropertyGrid. To register the TypeDescriptionProvider for my type I use the TypeDescripionProvider Attribute with my class: [TypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(MyTypeDescriptionProvider))] The MyTypeDescriptionProvider maintains a cache of PropertyDescriptors that I need to refresh every so often so I need to get access to it after it is been registered. I have tried to call the function TypeDescriptor.GetProvider(typeof(MyType)); to get at my description provider but instead it gives me a TypeDescriptionNode. So at runtime how can I get access to my custom TypeDescriptorProvider? This question has been asked before but unfortunately not answered (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfxbcl/thread/ 0c88ff70-1b9f-4a6b-9977-cc4e70935e87) Thanks!
