some of them to be public. I know that I can move them to code &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; behind &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; file, but I am wondering if there is any way to ask designer to define &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; them &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; as public. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Regards &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; If you want some of them to be accessible outside the class create a &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; property that wrap them. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Thank you for your reply. What I want is that when designer creating a &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; member variable , it create it as public instead of protected. Is there &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; any way to do this? &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Jeff Johnson Guest Posts: n/a 's Computer Specifications 10th Jan 2009 "m.a" &lt;ma.@spamoff.com&gt; wrote in message news:%(E-Mail Removed)... &gt; I select the conyrol in aspx page and then I looked at the property page, &gt; but I can not find any design entery ! where is it?
