Sharepoint custom web part property does not show up in the toolbox

Question

I have defined a boolean property as follows:

 [Browsable(true), Category("Display"), DefaultValue(false),
  WebPartStorage(Storage.Shared), FriendlyName("Obey Workflow"),
  Description("")]
  public bool ObeyWorkflow { get; set; }

I'm expecting it to render as a checkbox in the webpart's properties toolbox, however it doesn't show up. My web part is derived from the Sharepoint WebPart base class.

Answer 1

You are on the right track. You just need to use different attributes.

[Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
[WebBrowsable(true)]
[Category("Display")]
[WebDisplayName("Obey Workflow")]  
[Description("")]  
public bool ObeyWorkflow { get; set; }
