    copied!<p>I have a class which the programmer can use to dynamically add new properties. For that it implements the <code>ICustomTypeDescriptor</code> to be able to override <code>GetProperties()</code> method.</p> <pre><code>public class DynamicProperty { public object Value { get; set; } public Type Type { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public Collection&lt;Attribute&gt; Attributes { get; set; } } public class DynamicClass : ICustomTypeDescriptor { // Collection to code add dynamic properties public KeyedCollection&lt;string, DynamicProperty&gt; Properties { get; private set; } // ICustomTypeDescriptor implementation PropertyDescriptorCollection ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties() { // Properties founded within instance PropertyInfo[] instanceProps = this.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance); // Fill property collection with founded properties PropertyDescriptorCollection propsCollection = new PropertyDescriptorCollection(instanceProps.Cast&lt;PropertyDescriptor&gt;().ToArray()); // Fill property collection with dynamic properties (Properties) foreach (var prop in Properties) { // HOW TO? } return propsCollection; } } </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to iterate over the Properties list to add each property to <code>PropertyDescriptorCollection</code>?</p> <p>Basically I want the programmer to be able to add a <code>DynamicProperty</code> to a collection which will be handled by <code>GetProperties</code>. Something like:</p> <pre><code>new DynamicClass() { Properties = { new DynamicProperty() { Name = "StringProp", Type = System.String, Value = "My string here" }, new DynamicProperty() { Name = "IntProp", Type = System.Int32, Value = 10 } } } </code></pre> <p>Now those <code>Properties</code> would be setted to instance properties whenever <code>GetProperties</code>is called. Am I thinking this the right way?</p>
