Adding design-time support?

[Brett Romero]

How can I add design-time support to a custom control in VS.NET 2005?

Thanks,
Brett

I'd like to create a panel control that has several other child
controls: buttons, labels, textboxes. I'd like this to be in its own
DLL and allow EXEs to reference it and use the panel on their forms.
I need something visual for the panel so I can move objects around if
need be, which viewing the panel in the DLL. This way, all referencing
EXEs get the new updated layout.

I've already done this with a DataGrid. I've created a CustomDataGrid
that inherits from DataGrid. It sits in its own DLL. I can include
the DLL in a project and add a reference to the VS.NET toolbar then add
it to a form. However, if I open the control in its DLL, there isn't
any design time support there.

It sounds like you want to create a UserControl.

The UserControl did it. Thanks.
