I wrote a custom control that inherits its structure from a textBox. Is it
possible for me to add my own property so that the end-user can change it
when he is using the control in his app?

I want to have a property called "Mask" which the user can set to "true" or
"false". Then when the user sets it then a variable called "varMask" is set
to either true or false.

Sure...

public class foo: TextBox

{

int _mask;

public int Mask

{

get{return _mask;}

set{_mask=value;}

}



}
