I'm confused about how properties work within the designer.



If I have a form and I add a public property to the form, after I build the assembly, the property is there in the property window.



However, if I have a BO or a UserControl and I add a property, after I build the assembly, the property isn't in the property windows of the UserControl or BO itself. It will be in the property window of an instance I've dropped on a form or some other container, but not in the designer for the object itself. The property will also show up in the property window of any sub-classed objects.



So, what determines what ends up in that little property window?

Here is is, for the time being I got around the problem by declaring it again as SHADOWS in my 2nd level BO, at least if I decide to change it someday that will give me a nice fat compile error.

Return Me.p_RequiredFieldIndicatorType

End Get

Set(ByVal value As RequiredFieldIndicatorType)

Me.p_RequiredFieldIndicatorType = value

End Set

End Property

LOL...most likely this is what I mentioned in my previous post. Let me know if you want to tinker with this some more. It will require some time to get it setup and troubleshoot...but I already know that it has to do with reflection.
