How do I make a property of a user control show up in the property window in the form designer?

Add the Browseable(True) attribute to the property. For example:

<Browsable(True)> _
Public Property Whatever As Integer
'property implementation here
End Property

To send me an E-mail, remove the "[", "]", underscores ,lunchmeat, and
replace certain words in my E-Mail address.

Thanks a lot!

For bonus points, can I just as easily put it into it's own group?

Yes, just use the Category attribute. And before you ask, YES you can also
have a description appear in the help pane of the PropertyGrid:

<Browsable(True), _
Category("Category Name"), _
Description("This is the help text for this property")> _
Public Property Whatever As Integer
'...
End Property
