Is there anyone out there who would know were I could find a good article on
howto implement design time support for my custom controls in .NET ?
I have just started trying to figure out this (nice) feature. So far I have
figured out that one could use a syntax like this
"[ToolboxDefaultattribute....]" just before the class/method head, but I
cant find wich methods/attributs (in a list) one could use.

I use C# and mostly code fore webpages (ASP.NET)

Any webpublished article would be nice.

Thanx in adwance...

Robert..

Hi John..
I have checked MSDN, but there cataloge is large (enormous;-)) and I have
searched in there for ahours, so if you have a Link to a specific page in
there library it would be great... And dont really know what to look for
since I dont know what the API ("[Default...]") for desing time support is
called?

Thanx in adwance...

The reason I asked is that here is the first page of search results from
doing a query of "design time support":
