Hi Ken,

I played around with some IIF() clauses, but couldn't get anything to work as you want it to.

I would recommend setting the property in the Init() since the expression for the property is otherwise evaluated before the object really exists (and during design time as you noticed), which can lead to some problems if you're referencing the object, the property belongs to. I know you didn't want to hear that, but I thought I'll say it anyway :)

Regards,
Armin
