The property definition would need to go in the codebehind for the control.
As far as calling the control, you would need to drag it into your page html
like you said in your first post:
<uc1:Header runat=server ID="ucHeader" Title="Home Page" />
In VS2003 you need to add the control declaration to the codebehind of your
page as well in order to be able to reference it:
Protected WithEvents ucHeader as Header <-- This would go in the code behind
up where the rest of the control definitions are.
See if that works for you.
