Custom controls - React to property change

[news.xs4all.nl]

Hello,

what's the best way to handle a change to one of the
default Control properties (like AutoSize, BackColor and such)?

Override the property itself (get/set) or override the
protected method responsible for raising the On-xxx-Change event?


Regards,
Marcel

Either override the OnXXXChanged method or handle (subscribe to) the event
itself.

There's no reason at all to override the actual property unless you
actually need to modify how that property behaves.

ok, thanks Pete, that sounds logical.

Best regards,
Marcel
