Thanks,
In my case I was not going to place my control (control_2) on a form but
rather inside another control_1. I found that a simple way to do this is to
pass the name of control_2 through a property on control_1. I just wonder if
this will be more (run)time consuming than creating a Panel like control
(control_1), where I place the control_2 into control_1's designer. The last
solution, I think is much more (design)time consuming.
