Hi,

I created a new collection class derived from CollectionBase and my
component has a property using this derived class...

Although I marked my derived class as [Serializable], VS.Net designer does
not serialize my component's property?

Anybody has a clue?

Thanks...

Have you marked the property returning the Collection with the
DesignerSerializationVisibility attribute? Do this and pass it the
Content enum.

Hi Tom,

I tried you suggestion and still having the same problem...

My Structure is like that...

I've a CustomClass derives from Object that is marked as [Serilizable]...

I've a custom CollectioBase derived class that works as a collection for my
CustomClass and this is also marked as [Serilizable]...

And finally my component has a property with the type of my
CustomCollectionDerived class which now is marked also as
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]..
.

Any other suggestion in your mind?

Thanks...

The objects that you store in your collection must also be serializable.

In addition, the collection class must implement an indexer.
