Default built-in editors for the PropertyGrid control

c# editor propertygrid
Eric Anastas picture Eric Anastas · Apr 9, 2009 · Viewed 7.5k times · Source

I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere. What default editors/converters are building into 3.5 Framework PropertyGrid control. Otherwise what object types can I throw at it and it be able to reliably show and edit? I've found a lot of tutorials on using custom editors (which I may do at some point). But right now in my program I'm allowing the user to create their own custom properties and I want to know what object types I should allow assuming they will be editing them in a PropertyGrid.
