If you have a list that is part of a class and set that class as the SelectedObject of a PropertyGrid, the list will be displayed there with the word (Collection) next to it. I'm wondering if anyone knows how/if it is possible to display some custom text there since (Collection) is confusing to my target audience.

derive from list and override ToString() if I remember correctly.

I just tried to override ToString() but it had no effect on the (Collection) text.
