Hey Geo,

Are you talking about Web controls or WinForm controls? I'll let the Web experts answer the first one.

For WinForm controls, simple controls such as buttons or labels can't be visually designed. I'm not even sure *why* you'd need to visually design a button. Can you give me an example of why you're trying to do this?

However, composite UserControls or Forms *can* be visually designed, simply by specifying "Add Inherited Form" or "Add Inherited Control" when adding a new class to your project.
