A component can be placed in the Toolbox and dragged onto the design
surface of your VS.NET designer - i.e. you can see it in the property
inspector and set its public properties at design time.
A class doesn't support the design surface - you have to instantiate
it in code and use it from code - no visible design surface at design
time.
