Hi all,
I am having an issue with a custom CollectionEdito r. My scenario is as
follows:
I have a base type TypeA. I also have a TypeACollection . The TypeACollection
has an Editor attribute of TypeACollection Editor. This collection editor
derives from the framework CollectionEdito r, passing TypeACollection in the
constructor to indicate which type it deals with.
I then have TypeB, which derives from TypeA, but adds specific
functionality. I have then created a TypeBCollection Editor, which handles
editing TypeB instances.
I then have 2 properties on an object, both of TypeACollection , as this can
contain both TypeA and TypeB instances.
Only 1 instance of the collection will ever deal with the 1 type. I.e. no
collection will ever have to contain both TypeA and TypeB objects.
I therefore specify an attribute on the PROPERTY which will contain TypeB
objects that the editor is TypeBCollection Editor, to override the default
type based value on the TypeACollection of TypeACollection Editor.
My TypeBCollection Editor derives from TypeACollection Editor, and I was
planning on simply overriding a couple of methods such as CreateNewItemTy pes
and CreateInstance to return TypeB specific details.
This all looked fine - when I clicked "Add" the correct type was being
created based on which property I was editing. However, when I close the
collection editor form and the component I am editing, and then re-open the
component in VStudio, and then edit the collection which should contain
TypeB objects, the form is created, with the previously configured info, but
the items are created as TypeA objects, NOT TypeB. The only method that
seems to be called before the form loads and displays is GetItems, but by
then the TypeA objects have already been created and cannot be cast to
TypeB, as TypeB is more specific.
Has anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong, or exactly which methods I
need to override? All CollectionEdito r methods I override are called too
late, and the CollectionEdito r form has already displayed with incorrect
types. I think it is something to do with the CollectionEdito r looking at
the indexer of the collection and picking that type?
Thanks heaps,
Bardo.

VB's more declarative nature of handling events is golden. I'm hoping C#
will acquire this type of deal, in addition to the anonymous delegates.
could do same as vb (actually would be easier to parse then vb due to
braces) whereas you look for Handles keyword after method sig, but before
opening brace of the method.
compiler would implicitly build event handling code for all typed
constructions, ie, any variables instances constructed...

First, sorry for the crosspost, but it seemed appropriate... :)
I've come accross what I consider to be a bug, but I don't know if it's
already known or not. (VS .Net 2003 Pro - VB.Net)
Whilst playing with inherited forms, I created a simple base form containing
a single button. I set this buttons' Click event to be public overridable
and put "me.Close" in the code.

Hello all,
here is my problem. I am using a property grid control (in a vb.net 2003

The first property is used to select one of a series of web controls. The
second one opens a collectioneditor which also exposes two properties :
"event" and "command". The "event" property is a combobox that is filled with
the events of the control that was selected in the...

Hi!
I'm using a custom collection with custom items to be edited with a custom

application,
but is NOT called when tested from within the SharpDevelop environment.
Thus whenever I add...
