PropertyGrid not working?

Question

I have this class and I'd like it to be editable by means of a PropertyGrid control.

Class ConfigurationValues
    Public UpdateCapital As Boolean = False
    Public verbosity As VerbosityLevel = VerbosityLevel.e0_StrategyInformation
    Enum VerbosityLevel
        e0_StrategyInformation
        e1_HighLevel
        e2_BaseRoutines
        e3_Confirmations
        e4_AlmostAll
        e5_EveryThing
    End Enum
End Class

This is my form.

    Public Class Form1
        Dim config As New ConfigurationValues
        Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
            PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = config
        End Sub
    End Class

The problem here, is that the PropertyGrid stays blank.

Can someone enlighten me?

The PropertyGrid looks for properties. I also changed the Enum to be more readable - your choice though.

Public Class ConfigurationValues
  Public Property UpdateCapital As Boolean = False
  Public Property verbosity As VerbosityLevel = VerbosityLevel.StrategyInformation
  Public Enum VerbosityLevel
    StrategyInformation
    HighLevel
    BaseRoutines
    Confirmations
    AlmostAll
    EveryThing
  End Enum
End Class

Nope, I took the strange naming convention out since it makes it more readable code – OneFineDay Dec 27 '14 at 00:40
That part is up to you – OneFineDay Dec 27 '14 at 00:41
I added some great links also – OneFineDay Dec 27 '14 at 00:42
You have to correct the code so that `Public Property verbosity As VerbosityLevel = VerbosityLevel.e0_StrategyInformation` becomes `Public Property verbosity As VerbosityLevel = VerbosityLevel.StrategyInformation`. – beppe9000 Dec 27 '14 at 00:44
