i used PropertyGrid control to display properties on gridview.
i have taken an reference of this link http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/using-property-grid-in-c-sharp/
which is showing like this
But i need checkbox just before the property name shown in red mark on check/uncheck for any property i need to build expression.
I recommend reading this: How do I change boolean properties with one click in PropertyGrid.
It extends the PropertyGrid control and defines its checkbox controls using UITypeEditor.
As Reza mentioned, your choice of control does not appear optimal. You should probably create a form with TextBox, CheckBox, ComboBox etc. Or make use of DataGridView if your display is catering for multiple records at same time.
If you most definitely want to customize PropertyGrid, here is my another answer which might help you start with.
Linked answer:
You can make use of TrackBar. Note that PropertyGrid by default does
not allow you to add controls like these to it. So, you will need to
do some work here. You will need to create a class that inherits from
System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor. Next you will have to set the
editor attribute for the property that has to display track bar as
control. Note that unless you do custom paint, it will be shown as
modal dialog or as dropdown editor.

I am designing a windows form in C# and there is a checkbox called "electronic delivery". Under it is a field for "email address". Now I would like to add the option that the email field is only visible if checkbox is checked.
If checkbox is not checked, I would like to have a different field there.
I know how to handle this on the code side, to make things visible/hidden, but how do I place the fields in the form? Should I place one on top of another? Then I won't be able to access the one below to change it's properties.
Or should I keep only one filed and change it's name inside the code?
You could place your controls in FlowLayoutPanel control. The FlowLayoutPanel control arranges its contents dynamically in a horizontal or vertical flow direction.
You could just place them one on top of the other as you suggested. You said you did not want to do this because it would make selecting the properties of the controls difficult.
You can select a control from the combobox drop down menu on the properties section of Visual Studio.
You should create two Different Panels and Add Objects based on the Requirement. After Put visible and Hide Code in the Check Box Checked Event.
Try Panels it Will Work.
You can Simple Move Panel Along with all you objects which make it super Easy.
What is the name of this form?(That is if I want to search for it, what should I search for?) and is there a way to extend it ?
The control on the right side is a PropertyGrid - so i guess it is filled by reflection. If you derive a custom type from DataColumn, this control should show all new properties as well. Here is a detailed description, which attributes you should use to decorate your properties, so that a description shows up, the right editor is shown, etc.
I came across a tutorial and some example code for an audio converter. You select the format you want to convert to from a drop down, and when you do all sorts of options appear in a previously blank area, different options based on the format you choose. It's called Audio Converter .NET and is from same author as Audio CD Ripper .NET. I can't find the tutorial, but here is a screenshot.
See how on the right there is extra controls that are not on the left. I was experimenting trying to add another category. I added it to the dropdown, but am unsure how to make it so certain fields come up when it is selected.
I understand that they create those controls for those items, but I don't see how they call the correct one when the combo box selects something. I see controls are created, but if I try to duplicate the controls into another entry in the combo box they don't show up for either the new or old one I was duplicating from.
What's the best way to go about achieving something like this?
Thanks
The easiest way is to create the controls needed for every option in the dropdown inside a panel, and simply turn it's visibility property from false to true whenever it's corresponding option is selected using the combobox's SelectedIndexChanged event handler. (And don't forget to turn the current visible panel's visibility to false)
In my windowsForm application I use a PropertyGrid to edit the instances of my class: some of these properties are floating point with maximum and minimum item.
I wish modify them by a slider or something like it.
I've found this: http://www.visualhint.com/propertygrid but is not free..
do you have an idea to help me?

What interests me is everything below the bar with buttons that determine how the properties are displayed. All I can figure out is there is a splitter and a status strip.
What I'm after is how there are 2 sections which I want to add the titles Property and Value, the sections can be resized with a splitter (I assume a splitter is used in this case), each property can be selected and the corresponding description appears on the status strip, and each value can either be text or a dropdown box.
The coding part I can probably do by myself, what I need to know is what controls the window is made up of and how it's put together.
You are referring to the PropertyGrid control. It's in the ToolBox.
See Getting the Most Out of the .NET Framework PropertyGrid Control
This is the PropertyGrid, and can be used directly. There is no need to reinvent the wheel here...
