Inheritance

Object    CustomTypeDescriptor    ChildPropertyTypeDescriptor

This type descriptor allows child properties to be bound to controls and edited. The type descriptor will scan down up to three levels and goes no further to prevent endless recursion and/or stack overflows. Primitive and String property types are ignored as they have no useful properties for binding purposes.

Properties with a BrowsableAttribute set to false are ignored along with all of their child properties. Properties with a HidePropertyAttribute are ignored but their child properties are added to the list. This allows you to exclude the parent property if it serves no purpose other than to contain the child properties.

Child properties are prefixed with the parent property name followed by an underscore. Use this naming convention when binding to the child properties. (i.e. Address_Street, Address_State where Address is a class and Street and State are two of its properties).
