I just have a small irretating issue. I've got a C# Assembly that contains 
all my custom controls in it. The aasembly has a form and some controls with 
extended features and properties thats imported by a .NET project to define 
the base form and controls in the application.
Now. When I change the imported controls' properties is design time using 
the object inspector, BDS would insert the code in the BDS 
initializeComponent(), but when I run the application the applaiction does 
not reflect  the changes. When I stop debugging, and go back to the 
initliazeComponet() the code that was previouslly there is then gone. This 
is erratic and i cannot find a fixed pettern - sometimes it does keep 
certain properties, and some times it does not 'compile' the chaged 
properties. I've tried expicitlly Make, Build, Save and all combinations of 
it. The only way the properties are compiled correctlly everytime is when I 
define by hand the properties during the Load-event. - this is a shlep. its' 
propbably 15 controls with 8 different combonations if custom properties. 
Hate coding the properties...:(

Am I the only one that experience this problem? Am I missing a technique? Am 
i using the wrong access modifiers for properties?

Please enlighten me.
