Hi all,

I created a serie of non visual components 
(system.ComponentModel.Component) inheriting from one base class.
Everything is ok and working fine, but my base class is listed in the 
toolbox and I want to hide it (because this component is kind of 
"abstract" and there is no need to add it to the toolbox).

In the namespace I tried to set the class as "protected" or "private" 
but this is rejected by the compiler.
I also tried to hide the constructors. It becomes impossible to place 
the component on a form but the component itself is still displayed in 
the toolbox...

Is there an attribute or something to say "this class must not be 
loaded into the palette when the dll is installed in the ide " ?
