build control in vb.net 2005

hello, i have a question. Does anyone have a small example of how to build a control in vb.net 2005? i have found examples in vb.net 2003 on google, but not anything special for 2005.
What i want to build is a control that will give me some values. for example: lets say i use a control called "mycontrol" So when i take mycontrol.value1 it will return 5 , when i want mycontrol.value2 it will return 232 and so on.
Is this possible? I know it looks more like a function than a control but i wanna use it as a control. Please let me know. thanks

How about not using VB? I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. I normally have enlightening unbiased replys. Not this time though. VB sucks, learn a real programming language. :rolleyes:

thanx for your comments but i need to do it on vb.net 2005. i have done the whole project in that and i am not planning to learn another language cause vb sucks. i have a little time to work on my hobbie stuff and vb is covering good enough.

i work with vb.net 2003 is there any difference in coding ?

not sure, but when i found some examples online, vb2003 has a selection at the beginning where you can make a new control /library, but vbnet2005 does not. so i started it as a class but it did not work..

2003 and 2005 framework libraries are relatively the same, there really shouldn't be any difference in the code, with the exception that the templates use partial classes.

Have a look at the Microsoft website under visual studio 2005. There are a lot of tutorials to be found if you take the time to look. I've been using visual studio 2005 beta 2 to do some web development, and most of the work now is just drag and drop. How are you .Net skills?

thanx people, i have been having some progress with that, i think i am getting there! yeah i checked the msdn website. there is lots of info there!

Why a control and not a class? If you ABSOLUTELY need these values on a control then just create a property in the control.

Code:

---

      Public Property TheProperty(tst as integer) as integer
            Get
                    Return value
            Set (tst as integer)
                  value = tst
      end Property

Oh yea, VB is a real programming language if you don't use it then don't comment on it. In the past VB was a "hobbiest language" now its very powerful. I'm so sick of poeple being stuck in thier safe little C/C++ bubbles, thinking no programming language can beat it. Here's a word of advice: .Net 2005 changes that my friend so jump on the bus or be one of the few left behind.... Learn to like vb or c# (afterall they created C# for you guys in the bubble to be able to easily migrate over to a VB like, managed, language)
