How do you create your own custom component for vb.net 2008? I want it

  • 0

How do you create your own custom component for vb.net 2008? I want it to simply output to a .dll, not a whole winforms app.

So, here is what I have done so far:

  1. Made a class library project
  2. Added a custom control object
  3. Confused myself badly
  4. Googled it, to no avail

How can I control the component? For example, I want my component to not have a visible design view, I want it to stay below like the stopwatch component and the notifyicon component and such, it is not something to be designed. Then, how do I edit the possible properties a user can control, and make them effect the end result? What do I place the code which powers the component on? The class library file, or something else?

Thanks for your help! I have a whole set of components I am going to create, this will get me going much faster than trial and error.

    I think you may want to check some walkthrough on how to create components. Such as this one: Walkthrough: Authoring a Component with Visual Basic. Once you are done with that one, there are more walkthroughs on various related topics, such as how to use design-time support, implementing designers and so on.
