propertygrid

I have a user control with the following code in it.

[System.ComponentModel.Category("Appearance")]
public override string Text { ... }

private int myVar;
[System.ComponentModel.Category("Appearance")]
public int MyProperty { ... }

MyProperty shows up in the property grid when the control is inserted in a form, but Text does not. How can I get it visible?
