Is there a way to Visually Design Windows Forms Controls?

For example, I have a class that inherits TextBox. Can I see a
property sheet and a rendition of what it will look like as I develop
it?

It seems that this functionality is limited to Windows Forms.

I've got Standard Edition and thought it might me a limitation of
that.

I know I can put the control on a form and see it that way but that's
not what I had in mind.

Thanks,
Gene H.

When inheriting from an existing Windows Forms control (except
'UserControl'), you won't have a graphical designer. You can add a test
form and instantiate the control on it to test the control.
