How to set the description of user control's property

[Guest]

Hi, everyone.
I am writting an user control. There has some properties on it. At the
design time, the properties will disply on the property windows and user
could change it's value after selected the property item. My problem is when
someone select the property item on the property window. There has no
description about the user control property at the bottom of property window.
It just show the property name on it.
I think it must through some attribute to set description of the
property. Is that true? How can I set the user control property's description
when I writting the user control?
And sometimes control has it's owen property page (or property window)
at the design time. How can I do for that?
Thanks!

You need to add a Description attribute on your properties

[Description("My Description")]
public int MyIntProperty
{
get {..}
set {..}
}

This is a great design time article:
