Using a structure as a property

[mpdeglau]

I am creating a custom control and I need to be able to collect an array of names and for each name an array of options as a property. One way I thought I could do it was to create a structure, but when the collection dialog comes up I click add but value is the only option and it's grayed out. How can I go about doing this?

Here is what I tried

Public Structure TheStructure
    Public AName as String
    Public ANameOptions() as String
End Structure
 
Private _TheCollection() as TheStructure
 
Public Property TheCollection as TheStructure()
   Get
     Return _TheCollection
   End Get
   Set(ByVal Value As TheStructure())
     TheCollection = Value
   End Set
End Property
