collection editor, property grid, multiple types

I am trying to use a collection editor to edit multiple types as in
the following example:

http://windowsforms.com/blogs/faqs/a...sign-time.aspx

The problem I am having is with the property grid. I can add multiple
types to my collection editor but in the property grid isn't showing
any properties for the members that I have added to the collection.
It is only showing Object with a value of the type of member I have
added.

How do I get it to show the actual properties of the members I have
added?

I think there is just 1 property available by default to the
collection editor (IsDropDownResi zable). Unless you want to get to the
GetItems protected method and go through the array of items.

Try adding [TypeConverter(t ypeof(Expandabl eObjectConverte r))] to the
type(s).

A different question this time. I have a DataGrid bound to a collection. Is there any way for me to allow sorting? The DataGrid.AllowSorting=true doesn't work, but that's probably because it can't assume the data types and thus can't sort them. I thought about implementing IComparable, but I don't see how that would work since it doesn't apply generically to all the fields/properties of the class. Thanks.

In C++ an overridden virtual function in a derived class must have the exact same signature of the function which is overridden in the base class, except for the return type which may return a pointer or reference to a derived type of the base class's return type. In .NET the overridden virtual function is similar, but an actual parameter of the function can be a derived reference from the base class's reference also. This dichotomy...

I have a property that is a generic list of type IAddress (List<IAddress>). When I attempt to view this property using the Property Grid control it plainly says "Collection" and offers the typical generic CollectionEditor that ships with .NET to edit the property. The trouble comes up though when I attempt to Add an item to the collection via the CollectionEditor. Obviously the Collection editor can not create an IAddress object since it...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
