| Hi, I've made the next inherited class in Visual Studio 2005:
|
| Public Class LabelEx
|    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Label
|
|    Sub New()
|        MyBase.New()
|        Me.ForeColor = Color.Black
|        Me.AutoSize = False
|        Me.Height = 16
|    End Sub
|
|    <System.ComponentModel.DefaultValue(False)> _
|    Public Overrides Property AutoSize() As Boolean
|        Get
|            Return MyBase.AutoSize
|        End Get
|        Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
|            MyBase.AutoSize = value
|        End Set
|    End Property
| End Class
|
| The problem is that Autosize Property remains always as true when I go
| to design mode and put my LabelEx from the ToolBox to the form. Looking
| at the designer file, I can see as every property I have set to all my
| other extended controls is correct, except from autosize for labels...
| Any idea??? I've been unable to find this anywhere, and it looks like a
| bug, doesn't it? By the way, this code works properly in VS 2003, and
| although the default in 2003 is Autosize=false, if I put it to true, it
| works with no problem, the designer sets the value I've said...

line
