List as Class Property 1

[rvBasic]

Following code reflects an attempt to create a class that has a list as its property

Public Class AppParms

    Private m_parmbag() As List(Of AppParm)

    Property Parmbag() As List(Of AppParm)
        Get
            [COLOR=red]Return m_parmbag[/color]
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As List(Of AppParm))
            [COLOR=red]m_parmbag = value[/color]
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Sub New()
        Parmbag() = New List(Of AppParm)
    End Sub

    Public Class AppParm
        Public Property ParmName As String
        Public Property ParmValue As String
        Public Property ParmDefault As String
        Public Property Dirty As Boolean
    End Class

End Class

Both red statements are flagged with a similar error:
Value of type '1-dimensional array of System.Collections.Generic.List(Of con_AppParmCollection.AppParms.AppParm)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of con_AppParmCollection.AppParms.AppParm)'.

When I replaced the first red statement with

 For Each ap As AppParm In m_parmbag
                Parmbag.Add(ap)
            Next

m_parmbag was flagged with the same error.

Help is appreciated.

by placing () after the variable name you created a 1-d array of lists(of appParm), instead of a list of appParm

Private m_parmbag as list(0f Appparm)
not
Private m_parmbag() As List(Of AppParm)

How evident (if only you know it). Thanks!
