PropertyGrid使用总结3 Descriptor

Descriptor是实现当前对象描述的一个重要的类，其主要有以下几个类，这些类主要是进行。

1、TypeDescriptor

用于描述一个类型的信息，其是Type的一个扩充和补充，也可以用于类型转换等，这个类是一个最终类，无法继承此类。提供有关组件特征的信息，如组件的特性、属性和事件。

System.Reflection 命名空间中提供的反射 API 和 TypeDescriptor 类。 反射是适用于所有类型的常规机制，因为它的基础是在根 Object 类的 GetType 方法中建立的。 它为类型返回的信息不是可扩展的，因为它不能在编译目标类型之后修改。 有关详细信息，请参阅反射中的主题。

与此相反，TypeDescriptor 是一种可扩展的组件检查机制：实现 IComponent 接口的类。 不同于反射，它不检查方法。 可以通过目标组件的 Site提供的多个服务对 TypeDescriptor 进行动态扩展。

事件

清除了组件的缓存时发

2、EventDescriptor

要用于描述一个事件，主要用PropertyGrid进行事件的一些信息进行描述，其继承了父类MemberDescriptor。如下代码，可以获取所有事件的描述：

EventDescriptorCollection events = TypeDescriptor.GetEvents(button1); 
foreach (System.ComponentModel.EventDescriptor myEvent in events) { 
textBox1.Text += myEvent.Category + '
'; 
textBox1.Text += myEvent.Description + '
'; 
textBox1.Text += myEvent.DisplayName + '
'; 
}

 3、PropertyDescriptor

主要用于描述一个属性，主要用PropertyGrid进行属性的一些信息进行描述，其继承了父类MemberDescriptor。如下代码，可以获取所有属性的描述：

PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(button1); 
System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor myProperty = properties.Find("Text", false); 
textBox1.Text = myProperty.DisplayName+ '
' ; 
textBox1.Text += myProperty.Description + '
'; 
textBox1.Text += myProperty.Category + '
';
