Yes, implement a strongly typed indexer for the collection. Ofcourse
this won't work with built-in collections but only with custom collections.

For e.g. if your collection is of class Employee then you need to write
an indexer like this

public class EmployeeCollection : CollectionBase
{
    public Employee this[int index]
    {
        get{ return List[index]; }
    }
}

that's it..
