custom control designer problem

Hello.

I´ve created a simple custom control and used to drag it on a form in the visual studio designer where it then gets displayed as it
is usual for all controls. But now I can drag it on a form as often as I want and nothing is shown and also the source code is not
updated!

Adding the custom control manually to the form via code it is again displayed!

What can be a reason why a custom control can not be used in the designer?
Thanks a lot for any ideas!

Greetings,
Tim.

Can you provide some more info about your control? What did you derive the
control from? Do you handle the OnPaint method yourself?
