A designer verb is a menu command linked to an event handler. Designer verbs are added to a component's shortcut menu at design time. In Visual Studio, each designer verb is also listed, using a LinkLabel, in the Description pane of the Properties window.
The following code example demonstrates how to create DesignerVerb objects and add them to the design-time shortcut menu for a component.

' This sample demonstrates a designer that adds menu commands
' to the design-time shortcut menu for a component.
'
' To test this sample, build the code for the component as a class library,
' add the resulting component to the toolbox, open a form in design mode,
' and drag the component from the toolbox onto the form.
'
' The component should appear in the component tray beneath the form.
' Right-click the component. The verbs should appear in the shortcut menu.
