Custom Property

[Guest]

I am having a custom struct called ControlMargin which will have Left and Right. It is ame as that of Size which has Weidth and Height
Now I am using this struct to define a property called Margin which is og the type ControlMargin
But when i am going to the designer of my control i am not abl to see that "+" sign (It appears as ControlMargin(0,0) )as it appears when i use Size as a type of a property.Also my custom property is shown readOnly I am not able to change it

Can anybody help me implementing my custom property "ControlMargin" which is of type struct "Margin"......

Thanks in anticipation

You need a TypeConverter. I can't help you with the details though.
The source for SizeConverter might help. It's almost the same thing.
Download Reflector to take look at it
