Hello,

I'm trying to create a non visible user control like the timer. I want it
to have an icon at design time and show up below the form and be hidden at
run time.

I've read that I want to create a "Component" project type but for C# 2005 I
don't show that...

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Answered my own question, I can create a component.

However, there doesn't seem to be a project type for a component unlike a
user control. Is it possible to have a stand alone DLL with just
components? I tried creating a user control, removing the initial control
and then adding my component. It built find but when I go to run a test app
using it I get: "...DLL doesn't contain any user control types."
