How to visualize the bitmap property of a .NET Compact Framework custom element in Visual Studio Form Designer?

Question

I have a custom control (inheriting from control; targeting the .NET Compact Framework v2) that has the bitmap property.

Currently, an instance of the form designer control will only draw the selected background color and record the top bar namespace.control.name.

How can I visualize an image by a form designer after selecting it in the property editor?

Edit : The control is pretty simple, but I override onpaintandonpaintbackground

Edit2 . To determine the cause, I wrote a much simpler control. This is just a bitmap property and a call graphics.drawimagein onpaint(so cheap imagebutton). This also fails to complete. I even turned on the check to make sure that it is not trying to display a null image and is never refreshing or nothing but no luck.

Answer 1

Will you manually draw (i.e. redefine OnPaint and draw this bitmap)? Generally speaking, rendering in a designer for very basic control should work.
