Type	Description
Nullable<Boolean>	true, to enable collection editing; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The UseCollectionEditor property controls whether to use the collection editor. Set this property to false to display the collection definition as a property definition. In this case, the PropertyGridControl does not display expand and Add/Remove buttons.

If the UseCollectionEditor property is set to null, the value of the PropertyGridControl.UseCollectionEditor property is used to specify whether collection editing within the collection is enabled.
