ListSourceHelper.GetList Method
.NET Framework 2.0
Retrieves an IList collection of data source objects.
Namespace: System.Web.UI
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
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.
