ListSourceHelper::GetList Method
Retrieves an IList collection of data source objects.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
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::IListAn IList of one IDataSource, if the IDataSource has one or more associated DataSourceView objects; otherwise, returns nullptr.
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.
