Create a property from a structure

I am tying to create a property for a usercontrol to set values based a structure that I have defined. Here is the code that I am using to create the structure and the property

Private fooList As List(Of Structure_Foo)

    Public Structure Structure_Foo
        Dim a As Integer
        Dim b As Integer
    End Structure

    Public Property Foo As List(Of Structure_Foo)
        Get
            Return fooList
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As List(Of Structure_Foo))
            fooList = value
        End Set
    End Property

Example of the requirement

I need to be able to set the values for the structure as list collection from the designer property window as shown in the image above.

Change your structure to

Public Structure Structure_Foo
    Public Property a As Integer
    Public Property b As Integer
End Structure

The Visual Studio editor only lists properties, not fields. That goes for all the attribute dialogs. If you want to edit fields you probably need to create a custom designer for the control.
