Forms designer hosting question

Hi,

I am trying to get my head around a custom forms designer. There is a
project by Microsoft at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;813808 which does
pretty much what I want but I cannot work out how to expose the 'Name'
property in the designer so you can change it on the GUI, also I can't get
my head around how to add a custom property to the controls and show that in
the GUI as well.

Any help or pointers to detailed articles about this project would be
greatly appreciated. Also does anyone happen to know if there is a VB.Net
version?

Best regards,

Andrew
