Nathan...

I don't see anything obviously wrong here. I just did a quick test,
and I can't recreate the issue here using VS2005. If I were you, I
would scale this down to the smallest possible control that exhibits
this behavior. Basically comment out all properties/methods etc. that
aren't necessary for this particular property. Then, see if the
problem still exits. Just a thought - are you accessing any
datasources in the constructor?
