Hi,
When I am using the Collection Editor, the left hand side member always
display the collection class name.
1. How to display specify property name?(e.g. Collection of TabPage in
TabControl, it can show TabPage.Name value instead of
"System.Windows.Form.TabPage")

2. How to do increament of the object Name??(e.g. Collection of TabPage in
TabControl, it can be "TabPage1".."TabPage2"....to be increament, so what do
i need to implement this case?

Thx

Click to expand...

The display string for each item in the left pane of the collection editor
is taken from the specific item according to the following (in order of
priority):
1. If a Name property exists and is non-empty, that value is used
2. If a default property exists and it is non-empty and of type string, that
value is used
3. If the value from the ToString method is non-empty, that value is used
4. Otherwise the name of the type of the item is used

At least this was the case in 2003. I haven't tried it in 2005
So either provide a Name property, a default property or override ToString
for the type of objects you put in your collection.
