I am about to tear out the remaining and very limited hair on my head, trying to figure out how to make a generic structure to hold images and which can be edited design-time. I thought that this was a triviel task, but...

Well, initially I wanted to make a List<Image> (and still do) but problems came when I wanted to add images to the list design-time. This since Image is an abstract class. How do I do this?

I have read about UI Editors, but I cannot seem to make anything work. The functionality I expect design-time resembles how ImageList work on e.g. Button. If you know how can you please help me out and help me save the last hair on my head.

Thanks, Jacob.

Hey Jacob,

A quick suggestion (which I have not tried out yet) is to use bitmap list (List<Bitmap>). The Bitmap class is not abstract, as far as I know.

I will try to work more on this when I get some time. Meanwhile, let me know if you had any success.

PS: Easy on the hair on your head. We will figure a way out of this.

Hey, thanks for your suggestion.

I tried it out earlier, but the problem about Bitmap is that there is no default constructor, and it can therefore not create an instance (AFAIK) from the designer. You know, when clicking the 'Add' button in the dialog that pops up when trying to add images through the property grid.

I am still very much interested in a solution to this problem. Thanks, Jacob.

Ah! I see.. I think I had not understood your problem correctly. My bad.

I will try to work more on this and will get back to you.
