In a user control I have a property Text Text with definition as follows :

C#

string text;
[Browsable(true), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Always)]
public override string Text
{
    get
    {
        return text;
    }
    set
    {
        this.text = value;
        this.Invalidate();
    }
}

I added this usercontrol to a form and edited the Text property in the Properties tab.
When I do this the usercontrol shows the new text on it.
Then when I run it , the usercontrol does not have any text , just nothing.

What I have tried:

I have tried adding

C#

DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]

along with

C#

[Browsable(true), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Always)]

I just found the solution.
For those who stumble on this page the solution is given below :

C#

string text;
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Always)]
[Browsable(true)]	[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)]
[Bindable(true)]
public override string Text
{
    get
    {
        return text;
    }
    set
    {
        this.text = value;
        this.Invalidate();
    }
}
