How to get ASP.NET control string property to display suggested list in designer dropdown?

Question

How can I add a string property to my ASP.NET custom control that will result in the designer (either in HTML view or wysiwyg view) providing auto-complete by providing a list of some 30 suggested strings, while allowing for custom strings to be input?

Right now I'm using a property of type enum to allow the user to select from a list, but the strings have to be valid enum value names, and they need to be URIs. Also, it doesn't allow for inputting of custom strings.

Look at TypeConverter.

You will need to override GetStandardValues and GetStandardValuesSupported. You can feed this want ever you want at runtime.
