I am again trying to figure out something that I think should be simple, but it is not working like I expect it to work. I want to add a property to my control:

private System.Int16 _DecimalPlaces;
[
Description("Indicates the number of decimal places to display."),
DefaultValue(0)
]
public System.Int16 DecimalPlaces
{
	get
	{
		return _DecimalPlaces;
	}
	set
	{
		_DecimalPlaces = value;
	}
}

Pretty straight forward right.
Now I expect to be able to right-click on that propperty in the propperty sheet and be able to select Reset and the propperty will go back to 0 or at very worst 0. But insted I am presented with a msgbox stating that: Cannot widen from target type to primitive type.

So I scratch my head and think to myself I have done this before, but that time it was for a boolean property so I create a temp boolean property to test my theory:

private System.Boolean _DecimalP;
[
Description("Indicates the number of decimal places to display."),
DefaultValue(false)
]
public System.Boolean DecimalP
{
	get
	{
		return _DecimalP;
	}
	set
	{
		_DecimalP = value;
	}
}

And as I expected the boolean property works as expected with regards to the reset feature. It also works for type System.Double , but number is displayed bold even after reset to default value.

What am I missing? Does the error message mean anything to anybody?

Any information (related to the problem at hand) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Einar
