Any books out there on building controls, focusing on design time
programming?

I have a few, but none of them are focussing on i.e. control designers as
much as I hoped for (which I guess is what you're looking for).

One I can still recommend is:
"Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in VB 2005"
by Matthew MacDonals (Apress, ISBN 1-59059-694-3). IIRC this book is
available as a C# version, too.

Cheers,
Olaf

Hi Derek,

I'm just starting to explore design-time features, but I also join
with Olaf in recommending Matthew McDonald's book. Chapters 13 and 26
go into most aspects of creating design-time features. These chapters
are the clearest explanations I've found.

The code samples from the book : dwnloadable from APress at :

Are excellent starting points for your own code.
