Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
Notes to Inheritors: This editor can edit collections that have an Item property. The editor can determine the type of the collection from the Item property, if it exists. If the collection does not have this property, or if you want to provide collections of more than one type, you can override certain protected members of this class to customize the editor to support other types of collections.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following code example uses an EditorAttribute to associate the CollectionEditor with a property.
[Visual Basic] <EditorAttribute(GetType(System.ComponentModel.Design.CollectionEditor), GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))> _ Public Property testCollection() As ICollection Get Return Icollection End Get Set Icollection = value End Set End Property Private Icollection As ICollection [C#] [EditorAttribute(typeof(System.ComponentModel.Design.CollectionEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))] public ICollection testCollection { get { return Icollection; } set { Icollection = value; } } private ICollection Icollection; [C++] public: [EditorAttribute(__typeof(System::ComponentModel::Design::CollectionEditor), __typeof(System::Drawing::Design::UITypeEditor))] __property ICollection* get_testCollection() { return Icollection; } [EditorAttribute(__typeof(System::ComponentModel::Design::CollectionEditor), __typeof(System::Drawing::Design::UITypeEditor))] __property void set_testCollection(ICollection* value) { Icollection = value; } private: ICollection* Icollection;
