I have a base BrowseDialog I want to use in other similar forms that share the same search table but with different fields. Ok I created my base class BDBase and setup all possible search fields in SearchFields property and also setup the BrowseResultsLayout.



So far so good. Now I create another class and inherited from BDBase and in the designer, I removed the fields I don't need from SearchFields and BrowseResultsLayout. When I add an instance of this class in my form, those 2 properties are reset to the default values in BDBase class.



What am I doing wrong? Also is this the correct approach to reuse the BrowseDialog?

Thanks again, Trent. Wow, this is just great to have such control over the BD and opens up a whole new ideas on how to build my applications, very cool things can be done with the BrowseDialog control. Thanks a lot for the sample code.
