Hello,

Visual C++ .NET 2005 raises an error in the form editor using a UserControl that has an ArrayList property on it. This doesn't happen in C#.

The error message is:

	One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.
Either VCProject or VCCodeModel is not ready yet. Please close designer and try again. Hide
at Microsoft.VisualC.CppCodeParser.Parse(TextReader codeStream) at System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider.Parse(TextReader codeStream) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.CodeDomDocDataAdapter.get_CompileUnit() at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.DeferredLoadHandler.Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.IVsTextBufferDataEvents.OnLoadCompleted(Int32 fReload)

The code of the UserControl is:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Data;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ListFailure

{

public partial class ListFailure : UserControl

{

public ListFailure()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)

{

e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Red, e.ClipRectangle);

base.OnPaint(e);

}

private StringList stringList;

public StringList StringList

{

get

{

if (stringList == null)

{

stringList = new StringList(100);

}

return stringList;

}

set { stringList = value; }

}

}

public class StringList : List<string>

{

public StringList() { }

public StringList(int capacity) : base(capacity) { }

}

}
