Wisej.NET extenders are components that add and manage properties for other components.

Since properties cannot be added to existing classes or objects, extender properties appear only in the designer. At runtime, they function as Set/Get methods on the extender.

Extenders must implement the interface, determining which components can be extended through the implementation.

Some extenders integrate into existing components. For example, , , and add properties to their children. In web systems, this enables powerful features - when dropping a control into a FlexLayoutPanel, it gains properties like FillWeight, AlignX, AlignY. These properties are contextual to the container.

Other extenders, like and , operate without UI, adding features to extended controls.

Multiple instances of the same extender can coexist. Adding multiple Animation extenders enables defining different animations for each control, triggered by different events.

IExtenderProvider

The is part of .NET's System.ComponentModel infrastructure, requiring one method:

bool CanExtend(object target)

Returns true if the extender supports extending the target object. Microsoft's documentation provides comprehensive examples.

ProvidePropertyAttribute

Extender classes declare their provided properties using declarations.
