Hi,

I am trying to extend a TextBox and require that I assign a default value to
it's Text property. However the problem is that the Text property will still
get the default .NET framework value (usercontrolnameXXX).

The code I am using is as follows:

       public class UserControl1 : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
       {
               private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

               public UserControl1()
               {
                       InitializeComponent();
                       base.Text = "red";
               }

               [DefaultValue("red")]
               public override string Text
               {
                       get
                       {
                               return base.Text;
                       }
                       set
                       {
                               base.Text = value;
                       }
               }
       }

The problem seems to lie within "base.Text = value", since if I comment out
that line everything works fine.

This code works perfectly for other properties so I cannot seem to
understand where the problem lies.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank You,
