[Ironpython-users] description for a property

[Keith Rome]

I think that you are giving an instance of System.Type to the property grid where you really want to be giving it an instance of your class. So it sees your method member of the dynamic Type and shows it. All members of dynamic types are seen as properties from the perspective of PropertyGrid.
