Here is the class:

class csCompany : csDataRecordBase
{
    private ArrayList _colClients = new ArrayList();
    public ArrayList colClients
    {
        get
        {
            if (_colClients.Count == 0)
            {
                _LoadClients();
            }
            return _colClients;
        }
    }
    
    private string _sCompanyName = "";
    public string sCompanyName
    {
        get { return _sCompanyName; }
        set { _sCompanyName = value; }
    }

    public override bool LoadData()
    {
        bool bRetVal = true;
        SqlDataReader rdrReader = csAppDataAccess.GetCompany(this.iRecordId);

        if (csAppDataAccess.oException == null)
        {
            rdrReader.Read();
            _sCompanyName = rdrReader["CompanyName"].ToString();
        }
        else
        {
            this.oException = csAppDataAccess.oException;
            bRetVal = false;
        }

        return bRetVal;
    }


    private void _LoadClients()
    {
        _colClients.Clear();

        csClients oClients = new csClients();
        oClients.LoadData(this.iRecordId);
        _colClients = oClients.colData;
    }


}

And here's the instantiation:

csCompany oCompany = new csCompany();

When I hover over oCompany and expand the tooltip, colClients shows "Count = 3"

I have no idea why.
