Shawn,

You need to have properties on your UserControl that, when set in the property sheet, change the .Text of your label. Something like this:

public string MyLabelText
{
  get {return this.MyLabel.Text;}
  set {this.MyLabel.Text = value;
}

I guess I should have been more explicit in my original reply. ;)
