Custom Collections : overriding toString

[ECathell]

I am having issues with my collection now that i have it mostly together. I am binding it to a listbox, but instead of the box information I want it to show, it is simply showing the object type. I have tried overriding it with the following.
Public Overrides Function toString() As String
Dim result As System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim item As Box
For Each item In Me.List
result.Append(item.BoxType.ToString)
Next
End Function
I found something similar to that on the net and modified it for how I think it should work. But its still not working...any ideas?

Umm... Return result.ToString ?

I figured it out. I think it may have been a pretty silly error. I was trying to override the toString function in my collection class to return the name of the object. I had to Override the toString Method in my COLLECTED class to return the information I wanted displayed.

Thanks to dave Hayden at http://codebetter.com/blogs/david.ha.../24/55984.aspx for knocking me upside my head.
