I have written a class that should add a custom ToolStripMenuItem to the
designer of the ToolStrip control in my current project. When i recompile the
project everything seems to compile fine but I do not have the menu item on
the designer of the MenuStrip or the ToolStrip. The odd thing is if I create
a new project and add this class to the project the Custom MenuItem will
appear on the MenuStrip designer. The project that it won't appear in is a
project that was upgraded from VB6 so I'm not sure it that has something to
do with it. Please HELP!!!

Imports System.Windows.Forms.Design

<ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability((ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.ToolStrip Or ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.MenuStrip))> _
Public Class CorpProMenuItem
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem

Private _Caption As String

Public Property Caption() As String
Get
Return _Caption
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_Caption = value
End Set
End Property

End Class
 
Is there really no one that has seen this problem before. I was hoping for a
little help from the community.
 
Re:

Try using the ToolStripItemDesignerAvailabilityAttribute on your custom MenuItem class.
For e.g.
[ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability(ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.All)]
public class CustomMenuItem : ToolStripMenuItem
