Custom type converter

Hi

For the server control I am developing, there is a property which I want to
show a list.
The content of the list is a subset of Properties available in the control
itself. For example
my control has

Property1
Property2
Property3
Property4
Property5

Now there is another property called

SelectedField

I use reflection to query the properties in the control (in this case
Prop1... 5)
Now I want the names of the properties to be listed as a dropdown for
SelectedField.

Any help is appreciated

Regards
KK
