I am trying to use a custom TypeDescriptionProvider to the partial Settings class file that goes with generated partial class by the Settings designer, and it does not appear to work.

Thanks,
daniel

My partial class looks like this:

[TypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(SettingsTypeDescriptionProvider))]
internal sealed partial class Settings {
public Settings() {
}

My custom type description provider:

internal class SettingsTypeDescriptionProvider : TypeDescriptionProvider
{
  private static TypeDescriptionProvider
  defaultTypeProvider = TypeDescriptor.GetProvider(typeof(Settings));

  public SettingsTypeDescriptionProvider()
   : base(defaultTypeProvider)
  {
          
  }

   
  public override ICustomTypeDescriptor GetTypeDescriptor(System.Type objectType, object instance)
  {
    ICustomTypeDescriptor defaultDescriptor =  base.GetTypeDescriptor(objectType, instance);
    return instance == null ? defaultDescriptor : 
    new SettingsCustomTypeDescriptor(defaultDescriptor, instance);
  }
}
