Expanding List in PropertyGrid

Question

_{Tuesday, July 1, 2008 5:29 PM}

How, do you display a List<> of custom objects in the PropertyGrid in which each List Item can be expanded to display the custom objects properties. (ie:

PropertyGrid

CoreClass

(+/-) List<CustomClass>

(+/-) CustomClass.Object1

Property1

Property2

…

PropertyN

(+/-) CustomClass.Object2

Property1

Property2

…

PropertyN

I created a custom TypeConverter to display the properties of CustomClass, but I can’t figure out how to write the TypeConverter to expand the List<CustomClass> to allow the CustomClass properties per item to be displayed.

I don’t care about implementing the Collection Editor as the CustomClass should not be modified by the user.

I have looked across many articles including those on MSDN, but none seem to provide a fit solution. I know this question is somewhat general. Please advise.

Thanks.
