Q: 

CF. NET Expandable properties and design-time attributes

Hello!

I am authoring custom control derived from UserControl using Visual Studio 2005 and CF.NET 2.0.

My problems are:

1) I can't get properties of my control grouped into specified category (although tag is specified for every property in .xmta file)

2) Descriptions for properties are not shown in property grid of Visual Studio ( tags are specified for every property)

3) Properties of custom types are not expandable in property grid. I used [TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))] for full .NET version of my control, but it's unsupported for CF.NET

Also, I tried various samples found on the web that claimed to support categories and descriptions, but they don't :-( I wonder, maybe there is something wrong with my computer (I use Windows 7 RC)?

Maybe someone can help me at least with "expandable" issue? It's most critical one. Please, share your experience.
