Hi,

I have a custom editor which contains various visual objects.  When
the user selects them it updates the property grid with the selected
object.  This works fine, I can update the properties, however the
TypeConveter attribute does not function correctly.  If I attempt to
use a built in TypeConverter, its fine, however if I use one from the
package dll it does not work.

I have attempted to debug this, with no luck.  I reckon its because
the property grid control can not access the DLL where the
TypeConveter is, if this is the problem, how do I solve it?

Regards, James Simpson

Some More Info:

I managed to get it working by copying the DLLs to the .net ide
folder.  I have also set the AssemblyPath registry setting to the
location of the package.  It still is not correct because I now get
serialization errors saying "Specified cast is not valid"  I guess its
because its got some sort of assembly conflict.  It has only worked on
one attempt when i had copied the DLLs without getting the
serialization error.

I think I need to get the properyt grid to load the assembly that is
loaded when the package loads.

Cheers, James
