ListSourceHelper::GetList Method (IDataSource^)

 

Retrieves an IList collection of data source objects.

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

public:
static IList^ GetList(
	IDataSource^ dataSource
)

Parameters

dataSource
Type: System.Web.UI::IDataSource^

An IDataSource that contains one or more associated DataSourceView objects, which are retrieved by a call to GetViewNames.

Return Value

Type: System.Collections::IList^

An IList of one IDataSource, if the IDataSource has one or more associated DataSourceView objects; otherwise, returns null.

Use this method in an implementation of the IListSource::GetList method, passing a reference to a data source control.

The IList object that is returned implements the ITypedList interface. You can use the GetItemProperties method to retrieve a list of PropertyDescriptor descriptors that correspond to the DataSourceView names associated with the data source control from the list.

The following code example demonstrates the design pattern for a data source class that implements the IListSource methods. The GetList method calls the static GetList method.
