Visual Studio 2008 - Where is the modifiers property of a control?

I need to change the scope of a control from friend to public in my user control - what happened to the Modifiers property of a control? I don't see it in the property sheet. How am I supposed to change the scope of my controls now (besides going into the designer file and changing it in the auto-generated code)?

From stackoverflow
  • I just verified that the Modifiers row is still present under the Design group in VS2008 with WinForms and C#. I am running VS2008 SP1.

    Have you tried switching to alphabetical mode and seeing if it's listed there? Which control are you using (I tried Button)

    Mike C. : It might be there in WinForms and that's where I remember seeing it, but I don't see it with WebForms.
    JaredPar : @Mike C, yes I was definitely refering to WinForms
  • Best option is to create a public property to expose the control or a subset of the control's own properties.

    Hope this helps...

    Mike C. : Yes, I like this solution. Thanks!
