I have paint code in the custom control's OnPaint method (which successfully
shows up at runtime) and paint code in the OnPaintAdornments method of the
designer (which successfully shows up on a control that I have dropped onto
a form). What I haven't figured out yet is how do I get the actual design
surface of the custom control itself (i.e. I double-clicked the custom
control in solution explorer to get it's design surface) painted?

Thank you

Hi Robin..
Todo this you must make your own internal paint schema.Control,designer and
rootdesigner has separate drawing functions. You must join them in your
control. I mean make internal Drawing function in your control and call them
from designer and rootdesigner.. I think you just made it for designer. Do
it for rootdesigner..
