Hello,
  I have created a user control  and declared a public event that I my user 
control  raises. When I add my user control to a page, however,  and click 
properties, I don't see the 'ligning bolt' and cant specify an event handler 
via the vs2005 poperties panel. I can add the event handler in code (using 
myEvent += MyHandler) but i was hoping to get this to work in the vs2005 IDE 
like it does for the standard web controls. 
  Is this behavior inherent in Web User Controls, or is there a way to get 
the lighning bolt to show up when a user control is dropped onto a page. 

 Thanks

The "lightning bolt" is not (yet) supported for user controls in Visual 
Studio.

You could always change your user control into a custom control, that will 
make it work.
