Shawn,

Let me add to Cathi's reply, as what I'm going to add is implied by Cathi's reply, but you may not realize it ... you can put more than one sub-classed control in one .cs or .vb file. For the simple sub-classes, like MyTextBox or MyComboBox, this is how I would do it ... they'd all be contained in MyCustomControls.cs (for example). For more complex composite controls, you'll probably want separate files (because a composite control *can* be designed visually), but you could still put them all into the same MyCustomControls project so they'd be all in the same DLL.

>>You need to subclass .NET controls in code and not via the designer. Just create a new C# or VB.NET class and inherit from the control you want to inherit from. To use the control, you would add it to the toolbox and then drag it onto a form. Not as easy as FoxPro but you will get the same end result.
