So, OK ... you can design a UserControl visually. Are you having issues with this?

>>>You have to do it in code???? UGH!

>>Well, it depends on what you're sub-classing and what you want to do with it. If you have a UserControl class that you want to sub-class, you can do a lot of it visually if you need to. So, say you have this UserControl:
>>
>>

>>public class MyBaseControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
>>{
>>   // code in here
>>}
>>

>>
>>Now, to sub-class it, you start out by doing it in code: Add a new class to your project, make it of type UserControl, then go into the code and change it from this:
>>
>>

>>public class MySubControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
>>

>>
>>to this:
>>
>>

>>public class MySubControl : MyBaseControl
>>

>>
>>At this point you can open your new sub-class up in the designer.
