Using vs.net 2003 , I have the 2 classes defined below compiled into a
designtime library and added to the toolbox.
If I drop a Ctl object on a form I get the expandable Prop property in the
property grid for the control as I expect - similar to the way the Font or
Size properties are shown.
I am trying to use the DefaultProperty attribute to allow editing of the
Prop.Prop1 property in the property grid without expanding the Prop property
, the same way that Font allows you to edit/select  the font name without
expanding the Font property.
Obviously I am doing something wrong , because what I am getting is just the
name of the property object "Ctl1.Prop" displayed beside the expandable
property Prop.

Am I using the wrong attibute to do this or am I missing a step somewhere ?

// property class
[DefaultProperty("Prop1")]
public class Prop : Component
{
   [Description("Property Description 1")]
   [NotifyParentProperty(true)]
   public int Prop1
   {
       get { return 1; }
   }
   [Description("Property Description 2")]
   [NotifyParentProperty(true)]
   public int Prop2
   {
       get { return 2; }
   }
}

// control class
public Ctl : Control
{
   private readonly Prop prop;

[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]
   public Prop Prop
   {
       get { return prop; }
   }
   public Ctl()
   {
       prop=new Prop();
   }
}
