CollectionEditor

I am trying to create my own Collection Editor from
System.ComponentModel.Design.CollectionEditor for a compactframework
control but ComponentModel does not contain a Design. Is it that this
is not possible to do for the compactframework?

Thanks

Which version of the VS and CF is it?

In any case you will need to create desing-time version of your component.

I am using VS 2005 (C#) and CF 2.0. My component is available at design
time and the collection editor is coming up however one of the
properties is an enumeration an this is not appearing in design-time. I
was then going to change this and use a custom collectioneditor and
create a collectioneditor like the one for the Resco DetailView.
However Visual Studio is telling me the namespace CollectionEditor does
not exist in System.ComponentModel.

Does this mean it is not possible to do this for a compactframework
component?
Any help on this is appreciated as I have searched the group and cannot
find the answer.

It is possible, you will need to create a designer.

Take a look at this article:
