I think you want to create a method (sub) rather than a property. Make it
public and you can call it from the parent form. If you are looking to put
it into the ObjectDesigner then that is another question.

If you use a property then the syntax would look strange like :

About=1
which would seem strange. Since there is no value using a property is not
necessary.

Simply, i want to show an aboutbox for my own control which i create. In VB6 i did it easily but in VB.NET i haven't idea.

The On-line help tells nothing about this.

How can i do it

Try looking in MSDN under the topic :
Attributes and Design-Time Support.

I have never tried it but have seen other posts about this.
