CustomGetValueEventArgs Arguments passed to the ObjectFormatter.CustomGetValue event.
DataSourceCriteriaAttribute Applied to business classesreference and collection properties. Specifies the criteria expression used to filter the List View displayed in a Lookup Property Editor or invoked by the LinkUnlinkController.LinkAction Action in a popup window.
DataSourceCriteriaPropertyAttribute Applied to business classesreference and collection properties. Specifies the name of a CriteriaOperator type property which returns data source’s filter criteria applied to the List View displayed in a Lookup Property Editor or invoked by the LinkUnlinkController.LinkAction Action in a popup window.
DataSourcePropertyAttribute Applied to business classesreference and collection properties. Specifies the name of a collection property used as the data source for a List View displayed in a Lookup Property Editor or invoked by the LinkUnlinkController.LinkAction Action in a popup window.
DefaultClassOptionsAttribute Sets default options for a class.
EditorAliasAttribute Specifies the Property Editor alias.
ExpandObjectMembersAttribute Specifies whether the target reference property is displayed via several Property Editors representing the referenced object’s properties or via a single Lookup or Object Property Editor.
FileAttachmentAttribute Applied to business classes that expose a property of the IFileData type. Activates Controllers that manage file attachments for the target business class. Specifies a property that stores a file attachment.
FileTypeFilterAttribute Applied to file data business classes, interfaces and their properties. Specifies a file type filter which appears in the Open dialog’s “Files of type” box.
FriendlyKeyPropertyAttribute Specifies the property which is considered an analog of the GUID property, to allow use of more suitable values.
ImageEditorAttribute Applied to business class properties of the byte array type. Specifies that the target property persists an image. Attribute parameters specify settings to be used by Image Property Editors when displaying images persisted by the target property.
ImageNameAttribute Specifies the name of the image that is displayed for the target class’ objects or target enumeration value.
ImagesForBoolValuesAttribute Applied to Boolean business class properties. Specifies the names of the images used to display the target property’s values.
ImmediatePostDataAttribute An attribute you can apply to business class properties. This attribute indicates that the Property Editor’s control value should be passed to the property of a bound object as soon as possible when a user changes the editor’s value.
IndexAttribute Specifies the target business class property’s order index, that will be considered when generating layout items in a Detail View, and columns in a List View.
LookupEditorModeAttribute Specifies the mode of the target business class property’s Lookup Property Editor.
NavigationItemAttribute Specifies whether a class will have a corresponding item in the navigation control.
NonCloneableAttribute Applied to a business class’ property. Specifies that the target property’s value cannot be cloned when cloning objects via the Clone Object Module.
NotClonedInfoAttribute Applied to a business class. Specifies the business class’ string property, which can hold the property values that were not cloned.
ObjectCaptionFormatAttribute Specifies a caption format for the target business class’ objects.
ObjectFormatter Represents a string formatter. Exposes the static helper ObjectFormatter.Format method that replaces format items in the specified string with the property values of the specified object.
