Hi,

When I use my UserControls in Visual Studio.NET 2003, it just shows a gray
box at design time.

How can i have VS.NET renders the user control during design time?

Thanks,
Ali
 
Hi Ali,

Thank you for using Microsoft MSDN managed newsgroup.

As I understand, you want to add the "design-time support" into the
UserControl you developed. If it is the case, there may be a bit complex to
implement this.

Please refer to the following articles for more detailed info on this topic.

Enhancing Design-Time Support

"...
The .NET Framework provides an extensible architecture for customizing the
behavior and display of components and controls in design mode. This
design-time support architecture allows developers to build customized
design-time extensions for components and controls. Developers can provide
custom design-time behavior, value configuration interfaces, code
generation for property initialization, and take advantage of services
provided by the design-time environment.
