Viv and Danijel,

You're right that constructors are different. In the case of C#, in case you're interested, the way to do this would be something like this:

public class BBControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
	public BBControl()
	{
		InitializeComponent();
	}
	public BBControl(string InitString):this()
	{
		this.lblDisplay.Text = InitString;
	}
}

I guess I kinda forgot about this in my initial reply, so my apologies if anyone got confused.
