Property Value
Type:
System..::.Int32A zero-based index that specifies the position of the current item in the underlying list.
When setting the Position property, out-of-range values are treated in the following manner:
Changing the Position property will adjust the Current property likewise.
The following code example demonstrates the MoveNext, MoveFirst, Current, and Position members. To run this example, paste the code into a form that imports the System.Drawing.Drawing2D namespace and contains a BindingSource named BindingSource1 and a button named button1. Associate the Form1_Load and Form1_Paint methods with the Load and Paint events for the form, and associate the button1_click method with the Click event for button1. Visual Basic users will need to add a reference to System.Data.dll.
