Custom controls

[amity]

Hello friends,

actually i want to create a custom control in c#.net.But the problem is
that -----when i create custom controls and use them in the windows
form then they craete errors in the designer of the
form..............for example if i create a control which shows three
images and we can change these images independently then how can i make
the control so that the first time when the control loads it loads the
default images....also what should be the path of these default
images.........??

Put the images into a project resource file, and load them from there.

Hi amity,

Your best bet to start out is to inherit System.Windows.Forms.UserControl.
This Control automatically adds design-time support for the most part. You
can read about it here:

Here's a more general section that explains developing Custom Windows Forms
Controls in a variety of articles and how-tos:
