Here you go, A simple test app. class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { ExecTest(typeof(ITest)); ExecTest(typeof(Test)); Console.ReadLine(); } static void ExecTest(Type type) { PropertyInfo prop = type.GetProperty("PropertyName"); if (prop == null) throw new InvalidOperationException("invalid type - must have PropertyName property"); object\[\] attrs = prop.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DefaultSettingValueAttribute), true); Console.WriteLine("Number of DefaultSettingValueAttribute's on '{1}': {0}", attrs.Length,type.Name); } public class Test : ITest { #region ITest Members public string PropertyName { get { throw new NotImplementedException(); } set { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } #endregion } public interface ITest { \[DefaultSettingValue("test")\] string PropertyName { get; set; } } }

Why, that's interesting, didn't know about it, thanks. Alas, that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I don't want the user to actually "generate" the report itself (the data will always be the same), but rather to be able to edit just the appearance of the document to print, so they can create and select multiple report "models" or "styles" once the report itself is already generated.

Hi, For knowing that in detail, you may find the following useful: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.dataset.readxml.aspx[^] http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa325639(VS.71).aspx[^] Regards, Adeel Do rate the reply, if it helps or even if it doesnot, because it helps the members to know, what solved the issue. Thanks.

Thanks, but again I could'nt find anything useful. What I really need (if possible) is a control like the asp.net details-view (one single datagridview) but for a windows form and free. Some examples where interesting but mostly used 2 datagridviews, and I can do that myself ;)
