I'm updating a simmpe property of my control, using verbs. The value on the property grid is updated as requested. Yet, there's no update to the form's code. How do I force the system to generate the code?

You should do a broadcasted change for affected properties:

PropertyDescriptor prop =
TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(component)[propertyName];
prop.SetValue(component , value);

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I’ve already tried your suggestion but this will not
serialize the code. It will update the descriptor as much as just moving the
new value to the property in code does.  BTW, I’m using the code the event  
handler of the verb in the control’s designer class. It seems to me that I
will have to create a TypeConverter just for the property, and work the code
in the  ConverTo method.

Happy to say that I've solved the problem. The control designer has a method
called
"RaiseComponentChanged"  which will persist the change in code.
