UI-less user control

[Michael Debus]

Hi
I want to create a ui-less user control which appears in the designers tray
area (like timer-control) using VS2005.

I figured out how to bulid user-controls with ui, but dont know the best
practice for buliding ui-less controlls.

Somebody con help ?

Thanks
Michael

Michael,

In order to do this, you want to create a class that implements the
IComponent class in the System.ComponentModel namespace. The Component
class implements this, which you can derive from.

You might also want to check out the MSDN topic on the subject, titled
"Component Authoring", located at (watch for line wrap):

Hope this helps.

Derive from Component instead of from UserControl
