I have created a custom control and I would like it to display in the
Toolbox with a non-default name and bitmap. I have a custom bitmap
displaying, but I can't figure out how to change the display name.

My first thought was to extend ToolBoxItem and override the DisplayName
property -- yet this property cannot be overriden. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kristy

Use
[ToolBoxItem(typeof(YourControlClassName),DisplayName="The displayname you
want")]
