I found error in VB.NET version of template. Instead of

Default Public Property aCustomer(ByVal index As Integer) As Customer

it should generate

Default Public Property Item(ByVal index As Integer) As Customer

If this property is not named “Item”, collection editor in PropertyGrid does not recognize generated collection as a strongly-typed collection.

Doh, Sorry about that, The code I posted is an attempt at trying to convert the output of the C# file that the template creates to VB.NET, then I was going to convert the template to VB Style.

Thank You,

Im not sure what you’re trying to do here. It looks like you’re trying to combine the codesmith file with a .vb file.

Which one are you trying to get to work?
