.NET Framework Class Library
BindingSource..::.Add Method

Adds an existing item to the internal list.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overridable Function Add ( _
    value As Object _
) As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As BindingSource
Dim value As Object
Dim returnValue As Integer

returnValue = instance.Add(value)
C#
public virtual int Add(
    Object value
)
Visual C++
public:
virtual int Add(
    Object^ value
)
JScript
public function Add(
    value : Object
) : int

Parameters

value
Type: System..::.Object
An Object to be added to the internal list.

Return Value

Type: System..::.Int32
The zero-based index at which value was added to the underlying list represented by the List property.

Implements

IList..::.Add(Object)
Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
InvalidOperationException

value differs in type from the existing items in the underlying list.

Remarks

The Add method refers the call to the underlying list's Add method.

The internal list must contain homogenous types. If the DataSource property has not already been set, then the first object added to the list defines the type for the list.

This method raises the ListChanged event.

Examples

The following code example how to use the Add method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form, and call the PopulateBindingSourceWithFonts method from the form's constructor.

Visual Basic
Private WithEvents bindingSource1 As New BindingSource()
Private box1 As New TextBox()


Private Sub PopulateBindingSourceWithFonts()

    bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(2), 8.0F))
    bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(4), 9.0F))
    bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(6), 10.0F))
    bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(8), 11.0F))
    bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(10), 12.0F))
    Dim view1 As New DataGridView()
    view1.DataSource = bindingSource1
    view1.AutoGenerateColumns = True
    view1.Dock = DockStyle.Top
    Me.Controls.Add(view1)
    box1.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom
    box1.Text = "Sample Text"
    Me.Controls.Add(box1)
    view1.Columns("Name").DisplayIndex = 0
    box1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bindingSource1, "Name")

End Sub

Sub bindingSource1_CurrentChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles bindingSource1.CurrentChanged
    box1.Font = CType(bindingSource1.Current, Font)
End Sub
C#
public BindingSource bindingSource1 = new BindingSource();
TextBox box1 = new TextBox();

private void PopulateBindingSourceWithFonts()
{
    bindingSource1.CurrentChanged += new EventHandler(bindingSource1_CurrentChanged);
    bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[2], 8.0F));
    bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[4], 9.0F));
    bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[6], 10.0F));
    bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[8], 11.0F));
    bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[10], 12.0F));
    DataGridView view1 = new DataGridView();
    view1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
    view1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
    view1.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
    this.Controls.Add(view1);
    box1.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
    box1.Text = "Sample Text";
    this.Controls.Add(box1);
    box1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bindingSource1, "Name");
    view1.Columns[7].DisplayIndex = 0;

}

void bindingSource1_CurrentChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    box1.Font = (Font)bindingSource1.Current;
}
