c# - 设计时用户控件中的集合编辑器

Question

我在 Windows 应用程序项目中有一个 UserControl 类。它的一个属性是我定义的另一个类的集合。我似乎找不到一个很好的例子来说明如何在设计时让标准集合编辑器为它工作。

我在一定程度上使用我发现的一些示例代码让它工作，但我的集合中的数据没有得到保存。当我退出表单并在设计时重新打开它时，数据不再存在。

这是我的类(class):

Private WithEvents _Captions As New CaptionCollection

<Category("Gauge"), _
TypeConverter(GetType(CaptionCollectionConverter)), _

    Get
        Return _Captions
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As CaptionCollection)
        _Captions = value
    End Set
End Property

<Category("Gauge"), _
TypeConverter(GetType(CaptionConverter)), _
Description("Custom text displayed on the gauge.")> _

我找到了答案。我缺少的是 Captions 属性中的这个属性:DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content
