>In the framework, I have a form which I am using as the base form. In a new project, I have loaded the framework DLL. I dropped a form in the project and adjusted the declaration to point to my framework form. I can now see in the Properties window that it is in fact pointing to my framework form. In that framework form, I have defined DrawGrid to false and SnapToGrid to false. However, in my project, I can see that those properties are not inheriting from the framework form. Why is that?

Oops, sorry about that, this seems like design time properties only so I can use that. I found in the VS interface the place to change those defaults. They should be reflected on the next time I will create a form.
