Hi,
I have an owner control that I wrote for .NET 1.1 and VS 2003 which
interacted with the designer. It actually allowed me to edit a collection
of ColorEntry instances. A ColorEntry instance is a (Color, string) pair,
i.e., a definition of a color and a name for it.
I actually created my own TypeConverter to transform it to text, something
like (Red; 255, 0, 0) , and my own Collection class to handle the
collection.
My control had a property which returned the collection with the attributes:
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]
[Editor(typeof(ColorEntryCollectionEditor), typeof
(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
So... everything worked fine in VS 2003. I had a collection editor that
allowed me to add new ColorEntry instances and to edit their Color and Name
properties.
I used this control in a VS 2005 project (in .NET 2.0), and the problem
that I am having is that when I add a new instance of ColorEntry with the
ColorEntry Collection Editor (in the designer), I get the text
"Object does not match target type."
for both properties of ColorEntry (Color and Name), and I cannot edit
neither of them.
Does anyone know of any functional changes (or API changes) in any of the
following classes that can explain the difference in behavior:
System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor
ExpandableObjectConverter
CollectionEditor ?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Uriel
