Exposing custom collections as datasources for VS in design time... how to do that?

Hi all,

I have some custom collections (ArrayList of custom Objects) and I want to
display them using typical Windows form controls (DataGrid, Combo). What
should I do to expose them as valid datasources to these controls? What if I
want that these collections work with Visual Studio on design time in order
to allow me easy create grid columns on design time? Can you point me to
some examples?

Thanks in advance
