Best Practices  -  When implementing controls best practice follows setting a control's Properties, Events and Methods (PEM's) in code.  This makes upgrading the controls down the road a fairly simple and straight forward process. 

If setting a components PEM's at design time has been a coding norm, using the custom and stock Microsoft property pages with the new 64-bit controls will be different.
