You add propery’s to the designer by using attributes from System.ComponentModel.CategoryAttribute which is found in the System.ComponentModel Namespace.

using System.ComponentModel;

[Category("Layout"), Description("Your Description Here"), DefaultValue(true)]
bool  yourPropertyName
{
    .....
}   

This will put your property in the Layout Category of your Property grid with a description of “Your Description Here” with a DefaultValue of true . If you do not assign a Category your Property will be assigned to the Misc. Category by default if your are in category view.
