Hi All,
I am using a generic List for the first time and I am getting strange problems with the designer.

I have a user control which has the following generic list property:

Code:

private List<BOL.Trip> trips = new List<BOL.Trip>();

Code:

        public List<BOL.Trip> Trips { get { return trips; } set { trips = value; } }

When I add this control to another user control i get the following error in the designer for the consuming Control:

Code:

 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. 

Object of type 'DMWhiteboard.BOL.Trip[]' cannot be converted to type 'DMWhiteboard.BOL.Trip[]'.

The project builds with the following warning.

Code:

Warning    1    ResX file Object of type 'DMWhiteboard.BOL.Trip[]' cannot be converted to type 'DMWhiteboard.BOL.Trip[]'. Line 129, position 5. cannot be parsed.        129    0

However there is no line 129 in the resx code file.

Any Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It appeard that the problem was related to the instanciating the List<BOL.Trip> from within seperate classes.
Not sure why or what for, but the creating a class derived from the List<BOL.Trip> enabled me to put use the type definition in both classes.
Many thanks,
Rod
