Intellisense not working for NumericUpDown.Text

Strange one happening with VS 2003.
If I put a numericupdown on a form and then type the following:
string myString = this.numericUpDown1.Text;
then after the "." the intellisense pops up - but it _doesn't_ have Text -
the closest it has in the list is TextAlign.

However, if I choose that and then delete it back to match the above code,
it compiles fine (and works).

Any expert care to take a stab at why it doesn't pop up correctly?

Because it uses:

Have just done a few minutes investigation into this and I can't understand
why 'Never' exists as an option. If you don't want someone to use something,
make it private - all this does is make it a pain to use!

Thanks for the answer though.

Note that, in this case, Text is inherited. Therefore, making
NumericUpDown's implementation of it private wouldn't prevent callers from
accessing the base class implementation.
