Attribute Design Time Support

[Ram]

Hi,
I have an user control(.ascx) file with one Text Box and a Regular Expression Validator. I wrote property in the User control Code behind (C#) to set the ErrorMessage for the RegularExpressionValidator. Now, I want this property to be displayed int the "Proeperties Window of the User control" When I drag the User control onto a form. I used some attributes like Bindable, Category, Description But I could nt see any thing in the desing time. Whats the problem? Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks
Ram

Hi,

user controls are not designable that way in VS.NET 2002 - 2003, meaning you
can't get it to work. VS.NET 2005 will provide better design-time support
for user controls.
