the control is derived from: public class XYChart : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl {...} the project was created using Web Control Library wizard option. i experimented with another skeleton Web Control Library project and its the same problem on the designer surface hosted within a asp.net web application project. previously, i created an empty web project and included the XYchart web control library project in it and i was able to drag and resize my control on the designer surface without adding any additional codes. i tried copying the dlls from the web control project's bin/debug to the web project bin folder and reference it but it doesn't help. the point is i could not drag and resize my custom control on a aspx form designer surface in asp.net web application project but i could do it on a aspx form designer surface in an empty web project. huikm

IMXNamespaceManager, i think... that said, i've no idea how to use it. However, take a look at this: reallylongmslink/xml2nd_pro_v4_0tyr.asp[^] Shog9 ------ And on the pedestal, these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains.
