Pass value from editor to propertygrid at design time

Hi everyone,
i have designed an editor which i use it to get some string values from the user at design time and i want to pass these string values as a collection into the propertygrid and then save it in the form's initializecomponent method. I can manage that just by adding the values into the propertygrid. Does anybody know how to do this via the editor?
Any help would be appreciated.

can you zip your project and show what you already have so far, so we better can see what your problem is. Because the user input in a textbox for example normally triggers a textChanged or in the end a Validate delegate and you cn use them for sending your strings wherever you want to have them

Thanks for the reply JonnyPoet. I have a component and I created a collection editor which holds a list. I show the collection in the propertygrid of the component and i can add/remove values by using the propertygrid. What i need here is to be able to insert the values into the collection via my editor form at design time. When i reopen the propertygrid collectioneditor i want to see the values i inserted.

Is the editor form part of your component just like we have editor forms that opens when clicking to e.g. 'Columns...' in a datagridview? Or in which way are you inserting the collection into your property grid ?

Thanks for the reply again Jonny. Yes, editor form is part of my component and i also use a custom CollectionEditor to insert values. By using the custom CollectionEditor everything is fine, data is serialized into the form designer and works well, but i also want to be able to do that over my editor form at design time.
