Yes, I did. And since then it is that the standard entry is being translated but the arrow button indicating a drop down list is missing.

I can get the arrow button back by decorating with an additional UITypeEditor. That UITypeEditor's GetEditStyle() method is to return UITypeEditorEditStyle.DropDown regardless of its context.

And another dropdown, this one without TypeConverter doesn't drop down either.

As you will see neither GetStandardValuesSupported nor GetStandardValues are overridden yet. Would that be necessary?

What I don't understand is that by not overriding GetStandardValuesSupported and GetStandardValues I suspect the base class to take care of them.

lukeer wrote:

Why doesn't the base class make PropertyGrid show a drop down list while without applying my derived class at all it works?

Also, can you pass back collections, datasets, etc from an .exe to another .exe? Admittedly, I've never tried

  public static class DailyRoutines
