When to build a PropertyGrid to have a porperty table for an object class,
normally we have to write attribute for property item in object class, and now, I would dynamically change one of property to have different attribute setting, such as from BrowsableAttribute(true) to be BrowsableAttribute(false),in run-time, how can I reach this goal ? Is there any sample code for reference ? Thanks.

If I would like to change the attribute from "ReadOnlyAttribute" to be "BrowsableAttribute", then what should I do, especially for the string of "isReadOnly" ? Thanks.

You should try using "Browsable" instead of "isReadOnly"

The 'ReadOnly' setting works fine. Thanks.
And I would change it to be Browsable attribute.
I add "[BrowsableAttribute(true)]" and [BrowsableAttribute(false)" in front of public porperty, and substitue all "ReadOnlyAttribute" with "BrowsableAttribute" in your main lines, now, the string of "isReadOny" is changed to be "Browsable", but it still can not work, I find the fieldToChange is null, so the string "Browsable" seems be without matching, could you find any root cause ?
