DataSourceConverter::IsValidDataSource Method (IComponent^)

 

Indicates whether the specified component is a valid data source for this converter.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.Design
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

protected:
virtual bool IsValidDataSource(
	IComponent^ component
)

Parameters

component
Type: System.ComponentModel::IComponent^

The component to check as a valid data source.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if component implements IEnumerable or IListSource; otherwise, false.

The GetStandardValues method uses the IsValidDataSource method to determine the components that are available as standard accessible data sources. For the DataSourceConverter class, a valid data source is a component that implements the IEnumerable or IListSource interface.

Notes to Implementers:

Custom data source converters can derive from the DataSourceConverter class, and override the IsValidDataSource method, to test for the interface implementations that are required to use a component as a data source.
