I have subclassed the TabPage control (see code further down). This code worked just fine in VS2003, but in VS2005 it doesn't work as expected (i.e. my tabpages are not red)

OK here is my code for my subclassed tabpage:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsApplication19
{
	class myTabPage : System.Windows.Forms.TabPage
	{
		private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;
		
		public override Color BackColor
		{
			get { return base.BackColor; }
			set { ;	}
		}

		public myTabPage()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			base.BackColor = Color.Red;
		}

		protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
		{
			if( disposing )
			{
				if (components != null) 
				{
					components.Dispose();
				}
			}
			base.Dispose( disposing );
		}

		private void InitializeComponent()
		{
			this.SuspendLayout();
			this.ResumeLayout(false);
		}
	}
}

(someone might feel the need to comment that I should not make the backcolor bright red, but this is simply an example <s>)

Any clue about what I am doing wrong?
