C#, Windows Form - While debugging, what is "owner" in the given context?

System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListBox.ObjectCollection oc = new CheckedListBox.ObjectCollection(checkedListBoxLinesToProcess);

//********************* this line will not compile because "owner" is not known, yet it shows up in the Watch when debugging
int d = ((((System.Windows.Forms.ListBox)(((System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListBox.ObjectCollection)(oc)).owner))).Items).Count;

What is "owner" ?

Okay.

But what are they? What is "owner" "parent" and "child" ? Are they controls?

Am I doing this correctly?

for (int x = 0; x < checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.Items.Count; x++)
            {
                elb = new EnhancedCheckedListBox();
                elb.message = checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.Items[x].Text;  //what is the correct cast?
                elb.indexValue = checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.Items[x].SelectedIndex; //what is the correct cast?
                elb.mk = MoveKind.None;
                elb.ischecked = checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.GetItemChecked(checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.Items[x].SelectedIndex); //what is the correct cast?
                eclb.Add(elb);
            }

I think I figured it out.

It was not a casting problem it was a using the correct methods problem:

for (int x = 0; x < checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.Items.Count; x++)
            {
                elb = new EnhancedCheckedListBox();
                elb.message = checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.Items[x].ToString();
                elb.indexValue = x;
                elb.mk = MoveKind.None;
                elb.ischecked = checkedListBoxLinesToProcess.GetItemChecked(x);
                eclb.Add(elb);
            }
