Design Time - cannot add control to web page using iDesignerHost

I try to add a textbox from code of my custom component laid on the web form.
It appears in the code behind but not in the designer; moreover when I switch
from design to html view it gets removed from the code-behind.
What interesting: when (by mistake) I tried to add Windows TextBox the code
added it to the component section of the designer (so "almost" desired
behaviour...)
Any ideas, please?

The code is based on MSDN example of component
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2004 OCT.1033/cpref/html/frlrfSystemComp onentModelDesig nIDesignerHostC lassTopic.htm
- I'm trying this code when user double-clicks component

IDesignerHost host =
(IDesignerHost) this.component. Site.GetService (typeof(IDesign erHost));
IComponent newItem =
host.CreateComp onent(typeof(Sy stem.Web.UI.Web Controls.TextBo x), "txtNew");
//when this code used, works
//IComponent newItem =
host.CreateComp onent(typeof(Sy stem.Windows.Fo rms.TextBox), "txtNew");

Though I have designed and implemented a number of large reasonably well received web sites I do not consider myself a graphics designer I am now for the first time going to work with a graphics designer.

I suppose I exaggerate slightly but the site could turn out to be a series of 'contents'pages comprising links to pdf files which are for...

I have developed a custom control to be used in my application. My application includes a form designer, so the control can be hosted while designmode for the control is either true or false, depending on whether they are using the form designer, or in "run mode". The custom control includes a slider control that is supposed to be active in our form designer (designmode=true) and inactive in our run mode (designmode=false). The problem...

Hello: I want to know if it's possible to have a component what visibility at design time depends on how it's being created, for example, if the component is manually dropped by the user to a windows forms it should be displayed but if it's automatically generated by a Designer, to be assigned to a property of a different component, it shouldn't. There are any way of achive this ??

Many (if not most) have said that code-behind is best if working in teams - which does seem logical. How do you deal with the flow of the work? I have someone who is good at designing, but know nothing about ASP. He can build the design of the pages in HTML with tables, labels, textboxes etc. But then I would need to change them to ASP.net objects and write the code to make the page work (normally I do this as I go - can't do this...

I have a custom collection in my c# winform ui control called Items. Items is a built in collection type that does not allow itself to be replace (you can't 'set' the itemscollection in the control). However, the contents of the Items collection is persisted through designtime. Currently this all works except for the following. When you bring up the custom collection editor and add new items then close the collection editor.
