I have 3 classes. They are called Boot,Head,and Shell. A boot contains both a Set of Head objects and a set of Shell objects.
My classes:

        Set(ByVal Value As Shell)
            MyBase.Item(iIndex) = Value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

And Boot.vb
-------------

Option Explicit On
Public Class Boot
    'Contains a head and shell
#Region "Private Variables"
    Private _oHeadSet As New HeadSet
    Private _oShellSet As New ShellSet
    Private _iBootID As Integer
    Private _iVesselID As Integer
#End Region

#Region "Constructors"
    Public Sub New()
        _oHeadSet = New BusinessEntity.HeadSet
        Dim oHead As New Head
        _oHeadSet.Add(oHead)
        _oShellSet = New BusinessEntity.ShellSet
        Dim oShell As New Shell
        _oShellSet.Add(oShell)

    End Sub
    Public Sub New(ByVal oHeadSet As HeadSet, ByVal oShellSet As ShellSet, ByVal iBootID As Integer, ByVal iVesselID As Integer)
        _oHeadSet = New BusinessEntity.HeadSet
        _oShellSet = New BusinessEntity.ShellSet
        Dim oHead As New Head
        Dim oShell As New Shell
        _oHeadSet.Add(oHead)
        _oShellSet.Add(oShell)
        _iBootID = iBootID
        _iVesselID = iVesselID

    End Sub
#End Region

#Region "Public Properties"
    Public Property oHeadSet() As BusinessEntity.HeadSet
        Get
            Return _oHeadSet
        End Get
        Set(ByVal oValue As HeadSet)
            _oHeadSet = oValue
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property oShellSet() As BusinessEntity.ShellSet
        Get
            Return _oShellSet
        End Get
        Set(ByVal oValue As ShellSet)
            _oShellSet = oValue
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Property iBootID() As Integer
        Get
            Return _iBootID
        End Get
        Set(ByVal iValue As Integer)
            _iBootID = iValue
        End Set
    End Property
  
    Public Property iVesselID() As Integer
        Get
            Return _iVesselID
        End Get
        Set(ByVal iValue As Integer)
            _iVesselID = iValue
        End Set
    End Property
#End Region
End Class


Public Class BootSet
    Inherits Collections.ArrayList

    Public Shadows Function Add(ByVal oValue As Boot) As Integer
        If Not oValue Is Nothing Then
            MyBase.Add(oValue)

        End If
    End Function

    Default Public Shadows Property Item(ByVal iIndex As Integer) As Boot
        Get
            Return CType(MyBase.Item(iIndex), Boot)

        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Boot)
            MyBase.Item(iIndex) = Value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

And a function from my code behind webpage, to implement

 Public Function BuildEM() As BusinessEntity.BootSet
        oHead = New BusinessEntity.Head
        oHeadSet = New BusinessEntity.HeadSet
        oShell = New BusinessEntity.Shell
        oShellSet = New BusinessEntity.ShellSet
        oBootSet = New BusinessEntity.BootSet

        oHead.iHeadID = 1
        oHeadSet.Add(oHead)
        oShell.iShellID = 1
        oShellSet.Add(oShell)
        oBoot = New BusinessEntity.Boot
     
        oBoot.iBootID = 1

        oBoot.iVesselID = 30

        oBootSet.Add(oBoot)
        Return oBootSet
    End Function

What is in the returned oBootSet is not what I expect.
I have a bootset returned, containing a headset and a shellset. There are no items in this set, as my watch indicates:
- oBootSet Count = 1 BusinessEntity.BootSet
- (0) {BusinessEntity.Boot} Object
- BusinessEntity.Boot {BusinessEntity.Boot} BusinessEntity.Boot
_iBootID 1 Integer
_iVesselID 30 Integer
- _oHeadSet Count = 1 BusinessEntity.HeadSet
(0) Count = 0 Object
- _oShellSet Count = 1 BusinessEntity.ShellSet
(0) Count = 0 Object
iBootID 1 Integer
iVesselID 30 Integer
- oHeadSet Count = 1 BusinessEntity.HeadSet
(0) Count = 0 Object
- oShellSet Count = 1 BusinessEntity.ShellSet
(0) Count = 0 Object


What am i doing wrong?Please Help!!
