Viewing Usercontrol Property Changes at Design Time

[jdp]

I have a usercontrol composed of a label and textbox. I've created a
custom property, LabelText, that I can assign at run time. What I'd
like to see is if I place a value in LabelText in the Property Window
at design time, to see the usercontrol update itself with this value.

How is this accomplished?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Well, for Windows Forms components, your set accessor on the public property
generally includes a call to Invalidate() .. have you looked for something
similar for the web control?

I'm sorry I can't be more specific than this, I wrestle more with custom
designers than property editors atm

Thanks for the reply.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure I understand what you're referring to.
If you explain more about the Invalidate() or point me to a site that
explains things a little more, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again.
