>>Given that the properties you want to set are already publicly exposed, I'd say it makes more sense to have a Method to set them all at once. Plus, having a property for this doesn't really make sense, because you're not setting a Property called PropertyName, you're setting all the other ones.

>>>I have been discussing pros and cons with myself now for about 15 minutes, whether I should use a method or a property. Now I am seeking some input form somebody else other than myself LOL

>>>I have a usercontrol with several widgets on it. In addition to having properties to get/set each of the widgets individualy I would like to add a method or a property to set/get all the widgets at the same time, by passing/returning a byte array. I just can't make up my mind if I should use a method to do this or a property.
