The default value must be in decimal, but this can be easily change in 
the IDE.

It's normal, the IDE does not know how to draw your custom controls.

As for the property value, you just have to be sure that the default 
value defined in the _Properties string reflects the default value 
actually defined in the code. Otherwise the form designer will fail to 
handle the property correctly.
