Design time properties

[Dill]

Ok heres the thing...

I am creating a text box style control. When adding a 'Text' property as a string all works well however i have created a 'lines' property as a string array and set the values at design time, if I build the solution it clears the contents

I have tried two methods of implementing this but the result is the same

Private MyLines() As String
Public Shadows Property Lines() As String()

Get

Return MyLines​

End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String())

MyLines = Value
Me.Refresh()​

End Set​

End Property​

And...

Private MyLines As String
Public Shadows Property Lines() As String()

Get

Return Split(MyLines, vbCrLf)​

End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String())

MyLines = Join(Value, vbCrLf)
Me.Refresh()​

End Set​

End Property​

anyone any ideas where i am going wrong?

Thanks in advance
