Majed,
Public Class NewKeys

Have you tried inheriting from System.Collecti on.CollectionBa se instead of
System.Windows. Forms.BaseColle ction?

CollectionBase contains a List property for you ready to use, while
BaseCollection requires you to override the List property and return an
ArrayList to use.

Overall CollectionBase and other classes from System.Collecti on &
System.Collecti on.Specialized are the classes you should be using...

Hope this helps
Jay

Hi, I have a list which is derived from CollectionBase, and it contains a list of User objects, which I want to Serialize out to an XML file. Is there anywhere where I can find how to decode it so that it recognizes what objects are held in my list? or an example in C# prefereably? Many thanks in advance... Colin

I am tearing my hair out over this, since I can't see what I'm doing wrong (duh, if I knew, I wouldn't be asking the question). I am adding Field items to a Field Collection, but for some reason it wants to start from the beginning and overwrite all entries before adding the latest member. I've added a couple of msgboxes to illustrate this, one at the add method, another cycling through the collection after the addition has been made. ...

I have a collection class that inherits from CollectionBase. I am using the List.Remove method to remove an object in the collection. When I use it, I get the following error: Exception Details: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: The type MyEntity in Assembly MyBusiness, Version=1.0.2263.29542, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null is not marked as serializable.

Hello! Here I have a collection class Cards which is derived from the Base class CollectionBase. This class Cards is a container for Card object. Now to my question at the bottom of this class we have a method called Contains. It gived the same result to use InnerList and List in this method Contains. I can also just replace List with InnerList in the method Add and it works.
