Thanks Ken. I'll be doing it your way in the future. I experimented
a bit and it doesn't seem to hurt to use ...
Dim mintAge As Int32 = 5
<Description("AgeP (in days)"), _
' DefaultValue(5)> _
Property Age() As Int32 ...
but what's the point? That's not just a remark. I am curious as to
what Description and DefaultValue attributes are used for? I can find
no documentation on these attributes.
Also learned that if I code ...
Dim mintAge As Int32 = 5
<Description("AgeP (in days)"), _
' DefaultValue(6)> _ ' < - NOTE 6 not 5
Property Age() As Int32 ...
Visual Studio still reports that the default is 5.
Thanks again for your help.

The Description Attribute sets the text that is shown in the pane below the
Property editor when the property is selected.
The DefaultValue Attribute assigns a value which will be applied on Reset of
the property in the property editor. You should also notice that when the
Value is not 5 then it will be Bold in the property editor and will be
serialized in the InititializeComponent() method.

This results in the Initial Value being 6, but the Default Value is 5. Right
Click on the property in the Property Editor and choose reset and you wil
see that the value is set to 5 and is not shown in Bold.

Thank you very much Mick. I hadn't noticed the text in the pane below
the Property editor because I had its size squeezed down to
practically nothing. I can't imagine any reason for wanting Reset to
give a property a different value than its original default. But I am
REAL new to this stuff.
Thanks again for your help.
