IColumnMappingCollection Interface
Assembly: System.Data (in system.data.dll)
'Declaration Public Interface IColumnMappingCollection Inherits IList, ICollection, IEnumerable 'Usage Dim instance As IColumnMappingCollection
public interface IColumnMappingCollection extends IList, ICollection, IEnumerable
public interface IColumnMappingCollection extends IList, ICollection, IEnumerable
The IColumnMappingCollection interface enables an inheriting class to implement a ColumnMapping collection. For more information, see Setting Up DataTable and DataColumn Mappings.
An application does not create an instance of the IColumnMappingCollection interface directly, but creates an instance of a class that inherits IColumnMappingCollection.
Classes that inherit IColumnMappingCollection must implement all inherited members, and typically define additional members to add provider-specific functionality. For example, the IColumnMappingCollection interface defines the RemoveAt method. In turn, the DataTableMappingCollection class inherits this method, and defines two additional overloads of RemoveAt.
Notes to Implementers When you inherit from the IColumnMappingCollection interface, you should implement the following constructor:| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| ColumnMappingCollection() | Creates an empty ColumnMappingCollection class. |
The following example uses an instance of the derived class, DataTableMapping, to Add several DataColumnMapping objects to its ColumnMappings collection, and then displays a list of those mapped source tables. This example assumes that a DataTableMapping has already been created.
Public Sub ShowColumnMappings() ' ... ' create tableMapping ' ... tableMapping.ColumnMappings.Add( _ "Category Name", "DataCategory") tableMapping.ColumnMappings.Add( _ "Description", "DataDescription") tableMapping.ColumnMappings.Add( _ "Picture", "DataPicture") Console.WriteLine("Column Mappings:") Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To tableMapping.ColumnMappings.Count - 1 Console.WriteLine(" {0 {1", i, _ tableMapping.ColumnMappings(i).ToString()) Next i End Sub
