StringEnumerator.Reset Method

Sets the enumerator to its initial position, which is before the first element in the collection.

[Visual Basic]
Public Sub Reset()
[C#]
public void Reset();
[C++]
public: void Reset();
[JScript]
public function Reset();

Exceptions

Remarks

Reset moves the enumerator to the beginning of the collection, before the first element. After Reset, MoveNext must be called to advance the enumerator to the first element of the collection before reading the value of Current.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following code example demonstrates several of the properties and methods of StringEnumerator.

[Visual Basic] 
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Specialized

Public Class SamplesStringEnumerator

   Public Shared Sub Main()

      ' Creates and initializes a StringCollection.
      Dim myCol As New StringCollection()
      Dim myArr() As [String] = {"red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "indigo", "violet"}
      myCol.AddRange(myArr)

      ' Enumerates the elements in the StringCollection.
      Dim myEnumerator As StringEnumerator = myCol.GetEnumerator()
      While myEnumerator.MoveNext()
         Console.WriteLine("{0}", myEnumerator.Current)
      End While
      Console.WriteLine()

      ' Resets the enumerator and displays the first element again.
      myEnumerator.Reset()
      If myEnumerator.MoveNext() Then
         Console.WriteLine("The first element is {0}.", myEnumerator.Current)
      End If 

   End Sub 'Main

End Class 'SamplesStringEnumerator 


'This code produces the following output.
'
'red
'orange
'yellow
'green
'blue
'indigo
'violet
'
'The first element is red.
