Text property in a UserControl in C#

Question

I have a control with a inner TextBox. I want to make a direct relationship between the Text property of the UserControl and the Text property of the TextBox. The first thing I realized is that Text was not being displayed in the Properties of the UserControl. Then I added the Browsable(true) attribute.

[Browsable(true)] public override string Text {     get     {         return m_textBox.Text;     }      set     {         m_textBox.Text = value;     } } 

Now, the text will be shown for a while, but then is deleted. This is because the information is not written automatically within the xxxx.Designer.cs file. How can this behviour be changed?

You need more attributes:

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Always)] [Browsable(true)] [DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)] [Bindable(true)] public override string Text { get; set; }
