Your class inherits from ExpandableObjectConverter. That type defines an overridable method called GetStandardValueSupported(). If you don't like what that method does then you have the option to overrride it in your code. If you do like what ExpandableObjectConverter.GetStandardValueSupported()
does then you don't need to override it, it is all up to you.
2) Then copy my codes below inside after creating a new cs (Class file)：

3) Plz comment "GetStandardValueSupported" overridable method above and re-compile the whole proj, drag and drop the control from the toolbox onto your Web Form, then plz change your X,Y,Z properties from the property panel, what's happening？
At first, let we figure out what the GetStandardValuesSupported method does:
It returns whether this object supports a standard set of values that can be picked from a list, using the specified context. By default, this method returns false, if the developers want to find a common set of values of objects supports via GetStandardValues
method, the GetStandardValuesSupported ought to return "true". From this explanation, you may know what the GetStandardValuesSupported's purpose is(The second sample code show that in the below "HOW TO" article).

2) Then copy my codes below inside after creating a new cs (Class file)：

The code snippets above have the same error "not all code paths return a value", and the method you want to override should be GetStandardValuesSupported not GetStandardValueSupported. So I modify them like below(It's the full sample code I test it on my machine):
Notice: this method is overloaded, the one of them without parameter can't be override as it's not a virtual,abstract and override method, another having parameter can be override as it's a virtual method .

Sorry about don't make your clear. Have you checked my reply carefully? Like this sentence:

No matter whether I comment or uncomment the code line you mentioned, nothing changes, the propeties can be modified.
To explain why the GetSupportedValuesSupported have to be overrided. Please refer to below:
Mamba Dai - MSFT
By default, this method returns false, if the developers want to find a common set of values of objects supports via GetStandardValues method, the GetStandardValuesSupported ought to return "true"
I apologize for I didn't explicitly point out why this method should be overrided. Since this method returns false by default, and this method should be overrided to return true if the developers want to find a common set of values of objects(it's the reason
why develoers need to override this method). And I also mentioned, this method is overloaded, one can't be override, another can be(the reason I also mentioned in the above reply).
Now I modify the sample code above again and test again. Which I create two custom controls with the class and struct type(I comment out the GetStandardValuesSupported method in the both objects, namely I don't override this method).

I just copy your code and test it on my machine, when it runs, there are some error occurs(I mentioned them at my first reply)
ToughMan
Why must I add this underlined, bold overridable method for a struct, but not for a class？
Based on my testing, it doesn't have to override this method for a struct(I didn't said "doestn't have to" explicitly at the beginning), check my reply above or the quote below:
Mamba Dai - MSFT
No matter whether I comment or uncomment the code line you mentioned, nothing changes, the propeties can be modified.
And the testing code please refer to my second reply, it includes struct and class.
Now could you just create a new project and copy my testing code to run? Or send you project to me, I will test it on my machine.
You can remove any confidential information and business logic.
Hope it helps. Any question please feel free to comment. I will go ahead.

Hello everyone,
I did a Customized control and everything goes well with me. My question is very simple, plz look at the bold statement:

Nothing to do with struct vs class.
Your class inherits from ExpandableObjectConverter. That type defines an overridable method called GetStandardValueSupported(). If you don't like what that method does then you have the option to overrride it in your code.

Hello,
What I mean is:
I must override that, because if I don't do that for struct type, it will NOT allow me to change the value directly in the property panel.
But for class type, it goes well, no matter struct or class.
Why?

I'm sorry, I can't help you. I have no idea what you are talking about.
"I must" "I don't" "NOT allow" property panel. All the negatives confused me and I don't know what property panel you are talking about.
"for class type ... no matter struct or class" huh? "It goes well" what goes well?
Perhpas someone else knows what you are talking about.

Since this method returns false by default, and this method should be overrided to return true if the developers want to find a common set of values of objects(it's the reason why develoers need to override this method). And I also mentioned, this method is overloaded, one can't be override, another can be(the reason I also mentioned in the above reply).
Now I modify the sample code above again and test again. Which I create two custom controls with the class and struct type(I comment out the GetStandardValuesSupported method in the both objects, namely I don't override this method).
Check the code below:

} set { _y = value; } } [NotifyParentProperty(true), RefreshProperties(RefreshProperties.Repaint)] public double X { get { return _x; } set { _x = value; } } public DPointUseStruct(double x, double y, double z) { _x = x; _y = y; _z = z; } public static explicit operator DPointUseStruct(string s) { string[] values = s.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); if (values.Length == 3) { double d = Convert.ToDouble(values[0]); double d2 = Convert.ToDouble(values[1]); double d3 = Convert.ToDouble(values[2]); return new DPointUseStruct(d, d2, d3); } else { return new DPointUseStruct(2, 3, 4); } } } [TypeConverter(typeof(MyConvertorUseClass))] public class DPointUseClass { private double _x;

Re: Why struct doesn't work properly?

Plz read carefully about my 1st issue——Why must I add this underlined, bold overridable method for a struct, but not for a class？
Hope u can save both of our time to answer questions. Nothing is wrong with my codes, but KNOW THE REASON WHY?!

Hi,
I just copy your code and test it on my machine, when it runs, there are some error occurs(I mentioned them at my first reply)
Based on my testing, it doesn't have to override this method for a struct(I didn't said "doestn't have to" explicitly at the beginning), check my reply above or the quote below:
And the testing code please refer to my second reply, it includes struct and class.
Now could you just create a new project and copy my testing code to run? Or send you project to me, I will test it on my machine.
You can remove any confidential information and business logic.
Hope it helps. Any question please feel free to comment. I will go ahead.
