Subject: [PATCH] PropertyGrid: added ability to define editors with a simple
 attribute called TypeEditorAttirbute.  You can use a default editor or create
 a custom editor as follows:

    public class MyCustomEditor : ITypeEditor
    {
        public FrameworkElement ResolveEditor(PropertyItem propertyItem)
        {
            TextBox editor = new TextBox();
            Binding binding = new Binding("Value"); //bind to the Value property of the PropertyItem instance
            binding.Source = propertyItem;
            binding.Mode = propertyItem.IsWriteable ? BindingMode.TwoWay : BindingMode.OneWay;
            BindingOperations.SetBinding(editor, TextBox.TextProperty, binding);
            return editor;
        }
    }

Then attribute the property to use the editor on:

        private TimeSpan _timeSpan;
        [TypeEditor(typeof(MyCustomEditor))]
        public TimeSpan TimeSpan
        {
            get { return _timeSpan; }
            set { _timeSpan = value; }
        }
