However, in some case, you may want to display additional information about the properties being edited. The <span class="LinkClass"><strong>C1PropertyGrid</strong></span> control allows you to show a description for each property, similar to the Description pane in the Visual Studio Properties window. You can make property descriptions visible by setting the <a href="C1.Silverlight.Extended.5~C1.Silverlight.Extended.C1PropertyGrid~ShowDescription.html">C1PropertyGrid.ShowDescription</a> property to True. This will add a description area at the bottom of the <span class="LinkClass"><strong>C1PropertyGrid</strong></span> control, showing the description for the property currently focused. The description, which can be added using the <strong>Display.Description</strong> attribute, appears similar to the following image:</p> <p class="MsoBodyText"> </p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><img src="Showing_x0020_Property_x0020_Descriptions_files/image001.png" width="351" height="283"></p><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
