Rick,

Nope back at ya <g> ... that was the problem that Rex first posted about. You get an error if you use base:

public class MyControl : UserControl
{
    private TextBox MyTextBox;
    // and other control declarations

    public MyControl()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public MyControl(string InitString):base()
    {
        this.MyTextBox.Text = InitString;
    }

    // etc.etc.etc.
}

Change the :base() to :this() and it works fine (and it makes sense if you think about it) ... I wonder if you were thinking about some other scenario?
