Not applicable.

Parameters

component

The component to check as a valid data source.

Return Value

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.
