DataGridItemCollection Class

Represents a collection of DataGridItem objects in a DataGrid control.

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

'Declaration
Public Class DataGridItemCollection
	Implements ICollection, IEnumerable
'Usage
Dim instance As DataGridItemCollection

public class DataGridItemCollection implements ICollection, IEnumerable
public class DataGridItemCollection implements ICollection, IEnumerable
Not applicable.

The DataGridItemCollection class represents a collection of DataGridItem objects, which in turn represent the data items in a DataGrid control. To programmatically retrieve DataGridItem objects from a DataGrid control, use one of following methods:

  • Use the indexer to get a single DataGridItem object from the collection, using array notation.

  • Use the CopyTo method to copy the contents of the collection to a System.Array, which can then be used to get items from the collection.

  • Use the GetEnumerator method to create a System.Collections.IEnumerator interface, which can then be used to get items from the collection.

The Count property specifies the total number of items in the collection and is commonly used to determine the upper bound of the collection.

The following code example shows how to iterate through DataGridItem objects in a DataGridItemCollection collection.
