VS Designer and DefaultValueAttribute

Properties of inherited controls have the default value set to the value
that is assigned in the InitializeComponent method in the base form class.
Which is correct and useful. In the derived form you can always select the
"Reset" option and restore the inherited property.

However, if you extend an existing control class, say Button, and initialize
some properties in the constructor and then use your own class in a form,
the customizer will not reset to your default values. Obviously it makes no
sense to override every property and add the DefaultValueAttribute
declaration. This appears to be a bug in the designer deserializer. Does
anyone know if the next version of VS.NET includes a fix for this?

Thanks,
Gianluca
