A while ago I tried to use arguments in usercontrol constructors but the
designer didn't like it so I worked around not using them.

However the code would be much cleaner if I could use arguments.

Is there some way that people use both the designer and arguments?

I suppose I could comment out some code when I open the designer and put it
back after I close it but that's not very neat.

Any suggestions?

Also I usually use Integer but I see a lot of code using Int32. Make any
difference? If it's just style is the Int32 more commonly used?


Thanks

Look up Control Designers.

You can define parameterless and parameterized ctors, the designer will
use the parameterless ctor.

I thought that's what I did last time. Sometimes just knowing it should work
helps. I'll try again.

Thanks

I didn't try yet but I wonder if I could do something to force users to us
the parameterized constructor? Like check in the parameterless one to see if
it's in "Design" mode?

Word definitions: Is it true that parameters are used when a method is
defined and arguments are supplied in the call?

Also is Int32 used more commonly than Integer? Or do they each have a
purpose?

Thanks
