Custom Controls

[atruhoo]

Finally tired of depending on controls provided by Microsoft and others. wanting to expand my knowledge and learn to develop my own custom controls. Curious if anyone knows of some good articles or tutorials that may help to speed up learning curve. Playing around with basics and ble to create simple controls, but now want to move on to things like creating my own MaskedEdit TextBox. Thanks in advance for any help.

MSPress has a pretty good book for developing WebForm controls:
Developing Microsoft ASP.NET Server Controls and Components

But it's geared towards a C# audience and ASP.NET (obviously). For VB.NET, there's:
Developing Microsoft .NET Controls with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET

But I've not read it.

Thanks Chip will look into the book, til then I guess I will keep playing around and stumbling across solutions (and more questions). One more question pertaining to custom controls that maybe you know the answer to. Trying to create/set values for the property creating and looking to use a dropdown list like the DropDownStyles in ComboBox, any suggestions.
