VS2008 Windows Form Designer does not like my control?

I think you'll have to use base. ListBox1 and base. TextBox1 .

They are defined in MyControlBase which is the base class, not the child class where you need to use the this keyword.

Dunno if this is your problem, but the designer has trouble when multiple types are defined in the same . Cs file. If this is the case, try using a .

Cs file for each class.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
