:: Nested Control does not save its properties ::

[assassin316]

Here's my situation:

I have a Custom Control inherited from UserControl. Within this class, i have the following declaration:

Private m_ctlNestedControl As Control

Then I delcare a property as such:

Public ReadOnly Property NestedControl() As Control
Get
Return m_ctlNestedControl
End Get
End Property

Now in design-time, I am able to change the properties of my Custom Control and the Nested Control, so far no problem...BUT...when I close Visual Studio and reopen it along with the form that contained my Custom Control, I lose all the properties I set for the Nested Control. All the
properties I set are fine for the User Control, but not the Nested Control, those ones are back to the original ones. Would anyone know why ?

Why you don't generate/build component there and simply add to tool box ... that will resolve your issue making you able to see all properties all teh time ... Cheers

Here's what I found...

Actually, I was able to find out about this, and it almost works entirely


Imports System.ComponentModel

...

<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)> _
Public ReadOnly Property NestedControl() As Control
Get
Return m_ctlNestedControl
End Get
End Property
