    Still no idea what's causing this. SingleLed.LedStyle is the only property resulting in this error. Anyone that might have an
idea what is causing it?

    My bad; I forgot to add a reference to Jedi.Core to the solution, and that apparently caused the IDE to not find the
TypeConverter and UITypeEditor used for inline collections. This also brought another issue to light: if a custom attribute for a
declaration can not be found or causes an error, none of the attributes are applied. It is in reference to this important to
understand that the use of the DefaultValue attribute with a Double-type value causes problems (in this case the BlinkInterval
property had this problem, causing the Category and Description attributes to be missing as well).
