namespace CustomProperty.CustomWebPartProperty
{
    [ToolboxItemAttribute(false)]
    public class CustomWebPartProperty : WebPart
    {
        private string _name = "Suhail";//The default value to display
        [WebBrowsable(true),
        WebDisplayName("Label Text"),//WebPart property display name
        WebDescription("Label Text to appear in Label"),//Property discription
        Category("Custom"),//Custom webpart property catogory
        Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]
        public string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return _name;
            }
            set
            {
                _name = value;
            }

        }
        protected override void CreateChildControls()
        {
            Label name = new Label();
            name.Text = Name;
            this.Controls.Add(name);

        }
    }
}
 

Conclusion

You can see your custom webpart property at the end of the webpart setting.

When you need values which should be able customize don’t save in web.config file; You may use custom webpart properties.
