I am building a Custom Placeholder control for MCMS 2002
which gives a translucent background to the control. I
want to add a "Style" property and use the standard style
editor which is available in numerous other server
controls.

What is the editor used for the style collection? I tried
System.ComponentModel.Design.CollectionEditor but, of
course, that isn't it. I have searched the internet and
MSDN in vain for two days. Lots of info on building
custom editors but nothing to point me to the existing
style editor.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Tim,

Do you mean the editing of the Style property available for
HtmlControl-derived controls (not for WebControls)? If so, thats not part of
the .NET fx, its part of VS.NET.

Hi, Tim

I took your question to the ASP.Net support tech lead and he pointed me at
the following book:

Developing Microsoft® ASP.NET Server Controls and Components
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/5728.asp

Please give it a look and let me know whether or not it meets your needs.

HTH,
