How to show or hide properties dynamically in the PropertyGrid?

Question

I am using a PropertyGrid for configuring objects. I need to be able to hide or show some properties depending on the values of other properties. How this can be achieved? I know about Browsable attribute, but it only works at a compile time.

I have found the following example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tabs/DynPropGrid.aspx You can include conditions what to show and what to hide in you code. — VonDequen, Apr 29 '11 at 12:21

Take a look into the ICustomTypeDescriptor Interface.

Further informations on how to use it can be found in this article:
