Property Definition Type map it to IEnumberable<T>
This does not seem the correct definition for list of Emp,
public virtual IEnumerable { get; set; }
try
public virtual IList<Emp> EmpList { get; set; }

I've tried with your suggested option; also tried with List<T>, but no luck.
still am getting the same.
Type 'System.Collections.Generic.IList`1[[Project.Web.ViewModels.Blocks.EmpBlockViewModel, Project.Web, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]' could not be mapped to a PropertyDefinitionType
Please help. Thanks

have you register the property definition e.g.
[PropertyDefinitionTypePlugIn]
public class EmpListProperty : PropertyListBase<Emp>
{
}

this is how you will define property in your page type
[EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof (CollectionEditorDescriptor<Emp>))]
public virtual IList<Emp> EmpList { get; set; }

Thanks a bunch for your qucik response.
Property Definition, I've not registered and I'm not aware of this.
Could you please tell me or share any knowledge base example link. Thanks once again.

this is all that you will require
Define a model
public class Emp
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Register Property Definition
[PropertyDefinitionTypePlugIn]
public class EmpListProperty : PropertyList<Emp>
{
}
Add handy editor
[EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof (CollectionEditorDescriptor<Emp>))]
public virtual IList<Emp> Emps { get; set; }

I've registered the property definition as mentioned below:
using EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.ObjectEditing.EditorDescriptors;
using EPiServer.Shell.ObjectEditing;
[EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof(CollectionEditorDescriptor<EmpBlockViewModel>))]
public virtual IList<EmpBlockViewModel> EmpDetailsList { get; set; }
Unforturnately, I couldn't resolve the error.
Am looking for, EpiServer Application block: To bind the list of values to the block. Thanks

Is anything related to this actually documented anywhere? I'm trying to do something that should be pretty simple, and I'm now a few hours into it, with no help from documentation.
