Simply place the property code within the class
public int MaximumValue
{
get
{
return m_maxValue;
}
set
{
m_maxValue = value;
this.Invalidate();
}
}
public System.Drawing.Color Color
{
get
{
return m_Color;
}
set
{
m_Color = value;
this.Invalidate();
}
}
And it would automatically appears in the designer when you compile your
design time version.

| Is it clear how design time support works for controls? When you just
create
| public properties on a control with design time support they will be added
| automatically to the properties window of the designer. The article shows
| how to set a default value for a property and how to add intellisense
| information for VS.NET by using attributes. Other attributes exist to
| explicitely hide control properties from the properties window etc. The
| online help in VS.NET 2003 (look for "design-time functionality, about
| design-time functionality") might be helpfull. Just realize that you need
to
| compile this conditionally for designer support for a .NET CF application.
| Hopes this helps you a little further.
