I have created a ASP server control with my own designtime support. When I
add the control to a web form I am getting the error 'Failed to create the
Designer"

I have checked to make sure my namespace and class names are correct in the
Designer Attribute. I have changed the designer to make it simpler but
still have the same error. If I remove the designtime support the control
loads fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you dont have the controls source code open at the time you try to
open in anoother project, this caused me a problem a while back

Sounds like you have a problem in your GetDesignTimeHtml() method. Wrap the
contents of GetDesignTimeHtml() with a Try ... Catch statement (try...catch),
then use a MsgBox or MessageBox.Show to show the error in the catch (if there is
an error). This way, you can see the error. There is a method you can override
in the designer that is meant for returning error html during design time....you
may want to do that as a more permanent solution...we did.
