Re: design time support for collections

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The default collection editor will only work if there is an Item
property called Item in the collection. Also, the collection has to
implement IList. If you're inheriting from CollectionBase, that's
already included. If you're inheriting from ControlCollection, you
need to make sure you do the implementation yourself.

Could you post the code for your collection class and for the
collection's property in the main control?
