I need help getting the collections to show up in the property window of a
user control. I want to be able to edit the collection items just like any
other asp.net control that has collection properties (i.e. The ASP:Table
control). This is for a menu system. The collections are working when the
classes are called directly, but not as a user control. Any advice is
appreciated.
