Multiple Collection Properties in a Custom Control

[John]

I am attempting to create control with 2 collection properties
that are persisted with mode PersistenceMode.InnerProperty.

When I create the control I get an error message '' could not be set.
I can create and use the custom control if it contains only 1 collection
property (commenting out the other).

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
John

That error can occur if the collection property has a getter and a
setter. For example, this is the wrong way:

[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),

DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializat ionVisibility.Content)]
public MyCollectionType MyCollection {
get { return _myCollection; }
set { _myCollection = value; }
}

The right way:

[PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty),

DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializat ionVisibility.Content)]
public MyCollectionType MyCollection {
get { return _myCollection; }
}
