DataSourceIDConverter.IsValidDataSource Method

Gets a value that indicates whether the specified component is a valid data source.

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

protected:
virtual bool IsValidDataSource (
	IComponent^ component
)
protected boolean IsValidDataSource (
	IComponent component
)
protected function IsValidDataSource (
	component : IComponent
) : boolean
Not applicable.

Parameters

component

An object that implements the IComponent interface.

Return Value

true if component is a valid data source; otherwise, false.

The IsValidDataSource method considers the component parameter to be a valid data source if it implements the IDataSource interface.

Notes to Inheritors: The IsValidDataSource method should be overridden by controls that need to further investigate a given component to decide whether it should be returned in the list of standard values. For example, if a control works with only XmlDataSource data sources, IsValidDataSource should return true only for those components that are XmlDataSource objects.
