User Control / Collection Editor

[Marco de Vries]

I have a user control and I want to add some properties
in design time using a Colelction editor. I defined a
type and collection for example.

Public Class TestDefinition
... properties get/set
End Class

Public Class TestCollection
inherits collectionbase
... add
... insert
... etc etc
End Class

This Collection I add as a property to a User Control

Getting the existing collection if any goes well but I
don't get the collection saved using the collection
editor.

Anyone ???

Do you have your type converters built? As well as setting your collection
indexer to readonly. Plus using <DesignTimeVisi bility(Content) > set on your
collection property.

There are tons of good articles on this. It's a pain other wise...
