When do we need to use [Browsable(true)]?

EDIT (by SLaks): He’s asking (I assume) why one would need to pass true as the parameter, given that it’s already true by default.

    MSDN says it all:

    Specifies whether a property or event should be displayed in a Properties window.

    For example, if you’re creating a User Control, you might want to decorate non-UI-related properties with [Browsable(false)] so that they will not be available through a “Properties” window.

    Additionally, it controls which properties of an object can be seen in a PropertyGrid.

    As for why we can pass true explicitly, I believe this is due to BrowsableAttributes property of a PropertyGrid. You can set it to contain BrowsableAttribute.No, so that the property grid will display all non-browsable members.
