Hi Everyone,
I create MyCustomTextBoxControl.ascx that type is Web User Control. Then I add a textbox to my control.

After that i add MyCustomTextBoxControl.ascx to my page. Only shows control properties when i select my control and i look at the properties windows in designing time. I want to seeing textbox properties inside of the my control's property. (not one of them, all of them)

How can i do this?
Thanks

Example;

C#

public partial class MyCustomTextboxControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
 {
     [Browsable(true)]
     public TextBox MyTextBox
     {
         get
         {
             return TextBox1;
         }
         set
         {
             TextBox1 = value;
         }
     }
 }

But this is invalid code.

Why are you doing that?
Why not derive from a TextBox directly - that way you get the properties of the textbox shown as part of your control.
Unless you are adding other controls within the context of your control, that is the simplest solution.

And you really, really, shouldn't expose your internal controls in the way you suggest - it locks the design of your control to containing a textbox - you can't make changes without considering their affect on anything that might use your control. Expose only what you need to - don't expose whole controls.
