Collection Editor woes...

[timnels]

I have a control that is subclassing a label control and I want to a a
property that is a List of a custom class. The collection editor
_seems_ to work fine. I can add new items to the list and it saves
them. I can even run the application and everything works...then at
some point later (between other changes, rebuilds), the designer
errors on the form/user control where that control is placed.

Warning 2 Object of type
'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Lbm.Falcon.UI.MenuEvent]' cannot be
converted to type
'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Lbm.Falcon.UI.MenuEvent]'. C:
\Projects\Falcon\Applications\CashReceipts.designe r.cs 1603 0

What is more bizzare is it appears it can't convert the type into the
same type as itself! No amount of rebuilds will fix this. I have to
remove this line from the designer code by hand:

this.menuLinkLabel2.MenuEvents =
((System.Collections.Generic.List<Lbm.Falcon.UI.Me nuEvent>)
(resources.GetObject("menuLinkLabel2.MenuEvents")) );

Code for the class is below... I just don't see the problem :-(

public class MenuLinkLabel : UltraLabel
{
public MenuLinkLabel()
: base()
{
_menuEvents = new
List<MenuEvent>();
}

private List<MenuEvent_menuEvents;

public List<MenuEventMenuEvents
{
get { return _menuEvents; }
set { _menuEvents = value; }
}

}
