class library warnings!

[Andrei25]

Hi!
I need to be able to reuse some vb.net classes in some other projects (one in VBA).
I thought that I should make a class library project(containing COM classes) and after this to add it in references in VBA.
I encoured some problems, some warnings, like:

Type library exporter warning processing Keyword.get_m_KeywordList(#0), ...'. Warning: Type library exporter encountered a generic type instance in a signature. Generic code may not be exported to COM.

this is from my code:
Public Property m_KeywordList() As List(Of Keyword)

Do you have any idea which type should I use?
can u tell me where can I find some documentation about what should I change in my original code from .net to be able to use it in com classes?

thanks!

I think it says that com won't like generics so you have to change it to an arralist or some othern non-generic collection.

I tried tu use Collection. but I have the same warning.

Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel

Public Property m_KeywordList() As Collection(Of Keyword)

You were right about using ArrayList. like this is working.
I guess I didnt understand the difference between generic and nongeneric types.

thanks!
