Whilst creating a custom ASP.NET control I've come across a slight problem, namely the DefaultValue attribute and arrays...

One of the properties of the control accepts a string array, but I can't for the life of me figure out how you set the DefaultValue to an array containing fixed values. I've tried just about every combination I can think of, all with no joy.

I can obviously set the initial value when displayed in the designer by assigning the property a value from Public Sub New(), but I want to be able to 'Reset' the value (and avoid it being bold). As a workaround I've created a 'Resetxxxx' method which does reset the value when reset is clicked whilst right-clicking over the property in design mode, but doesn't remove the bold highlighting.

If anyone knows how to use arrays with the DefaultValue attribute, please let me know.
