ListSourceHelper.GetList Method

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
)
public static IList GetList (
	IDataSource dataSource
)
public static function GetList (
	dataSource : IDataSource
) : IList
Not applicable.

Parameters

dataSource

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

Return Value

An IList of one IDataSource, if the IDataSource has one or more associated DataSourceView objects; otherwise, returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Use this method in an implementation of the System.ComponentModel.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.
