Re: Where does the designer code come from?

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. Looking to improve the designer code
for my components.

You might want to look at CodeDomSerializer and the
DesignerSerializerAttribute.

Yes, I guess I should have said "What .NET objects are used to generate
the code?" I want to alter the behavior.

Thanks,

How does the designer determine what code is used in the form designer
code?
For example 1, when you drag a control (using the object name?):
private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox txtUserName;
this.txtUserName = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();

When you drag a component onto the designer surface, VS is knowing the
class, then using reflection, it can get the list of public properties
and events. As all components must implement IComponent (providing
functionnality required by all components) and must inherit from
Control, it is easy to generate the "new" code and to manage other
common component behaviors.

Nothing really magic, just object programming :-)
