  Annoying quirk of form designers that I've been trying to work around. I have a custom ControlDesigner class for my custom control. When I type new values into the property grid or make changes using SmartTags elements, I immediately see the name of the file change from "MyFile.vb" to "MyFile.vb *" to indicate that the IDE knows the file is dirty and needs to be saved.
