Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

IList GetList()
IList^ GetList()
abstract GetList : unit -> IList 

Return Value

Type: System.Collections..::.IList

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to implement the IListSource interface. A component named EmployeeListSource exposes an IList for data binding by implementing the GetList method. For a full code listing, see How to: Implement the IListSource Interface.


Public Function GetList() As System.Collections.IList Implements System.ComponentModel.IListSource.GetList

    Dim ble As New BindingList(Of Employee)

    If Not Me.DesignMode Then
        ble.Add(New Employee("Aaberg, Jesper", 26000000))
        ble.Add(New Employee("Cajhen, Janko", 19600000))
        ble.Add(New Employee("Furse, Kari", 19000000))
        ble.Add(New Employee("Langhorn, Carl", 16000000))
        ble.Add(New Employee("Todorov, Teodor", 15700000))
        ble.Add(New Employee("Vereb�lyi, �gnes", 15700000))
    End If

    Return ble

End Function


System.Collections.IList IListSource.GetList()
{
    BindingList<Employee>   ble = new BindingList<Employee>();

    if (!this.DesignMode)
    {
        ble.Add(new Employee("Aaberg, Jesper", 26000000));
        ble.Add(new Employee("Cajhen, Janko", 19600000));
        ble.Add(new Employee("Furse, Kari", 19000000));
        ble.Add(new Employee("Langhorn, Carl", 16000000));
        ble.Add(new Employee("Todorov, Teodor", 15700000));
        ble.Add(new Employee("Vereb�lyi, �gnes", 15700000));
    }

    return ble;
}
