Anything available like the VB6 add property wizard

In VB6 I could invoke a tool ( don't remember how right now) that would
enable me to create properties in my user control that passed through
properties of components on the user control.

I badly need that capability now but can't find it. Is it available in
VB.NET? Anyone know how to do this ??

What I need is something that would create the code in my user control for
all the properties contained in a control contained in my user control.

If I knew how to programmaticall y get a list of the properties I'd write a
little program to generate the code - which I could then paste into my user
control. Any help how to programmaticall y get a list ?? I suppose I could
cut it out of the Help but that's a kludge.
Thanks in advance,
Cal

Your trying to make your own customer user control right? And you want to
be able to have properties in the property grid?

I don't know the expression "property grid" but I think the answer is "yes".
I need for eack "Something" property of the picturebox on my usercontrol:

Public Property PicSomething() As Integer
or
Public Property Something() As Integer
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
Picture1.someth ing = Value
End Set
Get
Return Picture1.someth ing
End Get
End Property

Thanks
