This is one of those problems I've come across before where you just end up bashing your head against the wall for hours trying to make it work. And then you spend hours trying tons of different ideas until you finally find the one that lets it compile and run. At which point you sit and look at the mangled code in disbelief at the solution before you finally go through and clean it all back up again.

I've wasted countless hours on this problem, due to 1) the poor MS documentation on this process and 2) the totally useless/missing debugging functionality for design-time code. I wish MS dev's would get it through their collective brains that it is *not* ok to do things "auto-magically" without explaining *somehere* what's really happening behind the scenes (and hopefully, providing a way to debug!) This sort of lazy/evil framework implementation looks great in the demos but we developers get screwed when we try to go beyond the basics. It turns out I had a property in my collection's element class (reasonably) named, "Item". I simply renamed it and now the design view finally works. Oliver,
