Color property returns Color.Empty to my control

[Brendon]

I have written a custom composite control. When I try to get the value of a
Color property I always get Color.Empty in the designer, but I do get the
color that is selected when the webpage is run. Does anyone know if I have
to do something specific to get the value of the color back into the
designer? I have included the property that I am adding to the control.

Thanks,
Brendon

[Description("Display the color of the Header." ),
Category("UGEvent"),
NotifyParentProperty(true),
Bindable(true),
TypeConverter(typeof(WebColorConverter)) ]
public Color HeaderColor
{
get
{
EnsureChildControls() ;
return this._HeaderColor ;
}
set
{
EnsureChildControls() ;
this._HeaderColor = (Color) value ;

}
} //End HeaderColor

Brendon, are you setting a default value for the private _HeaderColor
value?

Nope I sure didn't. Is that why it can't set the property value? Here are
the attributes I used.

Thanks for the help,

I think so. Set a default value and see what happens.
