Custom Field in Sub Classed BO

I am trying to add a custom field to my SubClassed BO. But I am not sure how to reference the BO in the following statement (GetType) so that it would be generic?
Protected Overrides Function GetCustomBindablePropertyDescriptors() As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.FieldPropertyDescriptor()
        Return New MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.FieldPropertyDescriptor() { _
         New MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.ReflectionPropertyDescriptor("Cowboy_Name", GetType(BBPointsBO))}
 
    End Function

TIA.

Hi Terry,

The rule for the BO in the Property Descriptor is to always use the Type of the BO instance where the descriptor is defined. 

So in your sample, if the bo name is BBPointsBO, then that is the one to use.  If you create custom field properties in your base BO then use the name of the base BO.

yes, sure.  You are doing just fine and at the end you all this will just flow naturally and your application will be easier to maintain.
