Adding collection to component

EDN Admin · May 17, 2008

Good day all;

Im trying to understand how to add a collection to a component for design-time integration. Technically, I want a Dictionary but I imagine the logic is similar. I simply want the user, at design time, to be able to build the dictionary with nice collection editor that pops up in so many of the .net built in controls.

Before you simply post a url in response to this, please know that I have done a lot of searching on the subject. Unfortunately, all of the examples that I have found are wrapped in pages of code that isnt (I hope) salient to what I want to do. I cant imagine that it really takes pages of code to do this.

In my ignorance, the below code is what seemed natural to me.
 
private Dictionary<string, int> registers = new Dictionary<string, int>();

[Description ("Enter names and values here")]
public Dictionary<string, int> Registers
{
get { return modbusRegisters;}
set { modbusRegisters = value; }
}


Thanks
