How to add Style property to User Control

[Steve Trandahl]

I am trying to add a simple Style property to our base User Control. Even if
I add it as a simple string type, I get the error "Operation GetValue on the
component did not succeed, generating the error code 0x80020005." in the
property window for the property. It seems to be indicating a type mismatch.
If I rename the property to something else, it works fine. Since User
Controls don't have a style property to hide or override, why am I getting
this problem?

I also got into the same situation. Will appreciate if anyone has the
solution.
thanks

Steve, did you ever find the solution to this problem? I am running into it
as well.

Thanks,
Gerry

Unfortunately no. I ended up naming the property ControlStyle. It still
renders a style tag in the control, but I didn't figure out how to name the
property Style.
