I didn't get any satisfactory answer by searching the web so I'll ask here.

I'm doing visual form inheritance(.net2.0 WinForms), but I have discovered
that some components, even though set to protected in the base form, do not
allow me to modify their properties in the designer. I can set them in code
but it's not designer friendly. One of the components is the DataGridView.
Anyone know why?

Thanks in advance,
Donald Adams

Hi,
Program Manager Mark Rideout has said that this is by design.We do not
support modification of child collections in inherited forms/controls at
design time.For more details refer below link:

Sad to hear that, but thank-you.
Looks like as soon as I group some controls in say a flow panel, I lose the
ability in inherited forms to use the designer for anything.
