Question: I need the LectureID parameter to be passed in the constructor of new Lector, for connecting the newly added lector record (in lectors collection of current Lecture) to his lecture. How can i do this?

You'll have to write a TypeConverter so you can override its CreateInstance() method. PropertyGrid is a quick solution for simple classes but gets awkward in a hurry. Consider that it might not be the best UI solution. DataGridView is well suited to editing collections.
