Einar,

That's because you havent' actually added a property, you've just made a field member public. To have a property, you need get and set methods:

private bool m_ValidateEachElement;

public bool ValidateEachElement
{
    get {return this.m_ValidateEachElement;}
    set {this.m_ValidateEachElement = value;}
}
