Designer Serialization Problem

[Sujith Manuel]

Hi All,

I am developing a Dotnet component in C#, and it has got a set of design
time properties which can be changed using the Properties Window. The
problem I am facing here is, whenever you drag and drop this component from
the component palette, visual studio designer will add some lines of code in
the "InitializeComponent" procedure of the Main application, which is giving
errors while compiling.

The component has got a property named "FormMain" which is of type class
"Main". I have a number of classes derived from class "Main" and the
property "FormMain" can contain objects of any of the above mentioned
derived classes. Currently I am using "DesignerSerailizationVisiblity" &
"TypeConverter" attributes for the "FormMain" property.

The line added in "InitializeComponent" procedure is as given below:

Component1.FomMain.Cells =
((ClsCells)(resources.GetObject("resource.Cells")) ); --Error...

This should come like:

((DrvMainA)(Component1.FomMain)).Cells =
((ClsCells)(resources.GetObject("resource.Cells")) ); ------ DrvMainA is
derived class of Main.

Anybody knows how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Sujith Manuel.
