Lightweight Components

I was wondering if someone knew how best to handlelightweight components when it comes to the API.

The reason I ask is that I am part way through developing a customproperty editor (which seems to work okay when components are fullyresolved, it still has a few bugs to iron out but not in relationto the lighweight issue). Is there any way of accessing the customproperties of the components without having to fully resolve themfirsts. Some large assemblies could take ages to open when fullyresolved.

Thanks in advance,
