Type property handling?

[mike montagne]

I'm thinking ahead, and wonder if anyone knows how a Type property is handled by its designers/typeconverters (if any)? What I'm hoping is that the designers/typeconverters for a Type property will allow entering the String class name of the type, and translate that to an underlying type field, f_MyType:

          protected internal Type f_MyType = null;

          // CAN WE INPUT THE String CLASS NAME TO THIS PROPERTY?
          public Type MyType
               {
               get
                    {
                    return f_MyType;
                    }
               set
                    {
                    f_MyType = value;
                    }
               }

TIA, mike

Never tried it. I would suggest trying it real quick with a PropertyGrid. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't be too tough to write a custom type converter for that. I'm guessing it won't work, but shouldn't take much to test that.

Actually, I'd be tempted to write a type converter and maybe a UITypeEditor implementation that shows possible types to choose from.
