How to set default properties for subclassed controls

[Michael Rodriguez]

If I subclass TextBox and add my own new properties, how do I set their
default values? I tried assigning them in the default constructor, but they
still show as bold in the object inspector and they still get assigned in
the code-behind file, neither of which would be the case if they had
"default" values.

TIA,

Mike Rodriguez

Try taking a look at the DefaultValueAttribute.

That's just what I needed!

Thanks, James.
