How to add drop down property into biztalk pipeline component

Question

i'm trying to add a drop down design-property into a pipeline component. I found this article

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dd732ffc-0372-4710-a849-370bbdb65419/custom-pipeline-component-with-an-enum-property-to-display-a-custom-drop-down-list?forum=biztalkgeneral

and i followed all steps. The result is that i can see drop down into pipeline properties in visual studio but when i associate it to receive port i can only see text box and not dropdown property.

Unfortunately, that is the expected behavior.

The Pipeline UI in BizTalk Administrator is completely different from the UI in Visual Studio and the extended controls are only supported in Visual Studio.
