  Hi,
  
  I looked into the PropertyGrid code and actually it seems there is only one solution. The DefaultValueAttribute is linked to the Serialization mechanism that the Visual Studio designer uses to fill the InitalizeComponent method. I don't know if this is an option for you but the only thing that I see is to disable this mechanism for each of your properties. The following code does the trick for one property:
  
  public class TargetClass
  {
  bool _myBool = false;
  
  private bool ShouldSerializeBoolean()
  {
  return false;
  }
  
  public bool Boolean
  {
  set { _myBool = value; }
  get { return _myBool; }
  }
  }
  
  You will notice the ShouldSerializeX method where x is the name of your property. For a formal explanation, look at this page at MSDN.
  Hope this helps.

  Did you find an answer to this problem I am wondering the same thing.

  well, if you have the possibility to alter the TypeConverter classes when they exist or to create a reusable one, yes this is a good solution also.

  Thanks. In fact I can do this very easily for all properties by susbtituting a class's propertydescriptors with custom ones which override the ShouldSerializeValue function and return False on every occasion. The subsitution is made in the GetProperties function of the typeconverter for the class.

  I'm aware of that article. It doesn't help me with this issue at all.
