CollectionEditor in VB 2005 Express
Is the CollectionEditor available in VB2005 Express? I get a "is not defined" error even though I have included all the imports that I have seen in various examples. My imports are:
Imports System
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Globalization
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing.Design ' for UITypeEditor
Imports System.Windows.Forms.Design
Imports System.ComponentModel.Design
When I look at the object browser I see that System.ComponentModel.Design does have the CollectionEditor, but it is still not getting defined for some reason.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, the collection editor is available in VB2005 Express. Please note that there is a difference between importing a namespace (putting an Imports <whatever namespace> in your file) and adding a reference to an assembly - the Import simply lets you refer to types without having to specify the fully namespace qualified type name *if you have a reference to the assembly where the type is defined*. Adding a reference actually makes the type available to the referencing assembly.
Now, you say that you can see the type in the object browser. This makes me think that you have the appropriate reference in your project (in this case to the System.Design assembly). Could you please share some of the code that is giving you the error?
