Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
The CurrencyManager derives from the BindingManagerBase class. Use the BindingContext to return either a CurrencyManager or a PropertyManager. The actual object returned depends on the data source and data member passed to the Item property of the BindingContext. If the data source is an object that can only return a single property (instead of a list of objects), the type will be a PropertyManager. For example, if you specify a TextBox as the data source, a PropertyManager will be returned. If, on the other hand, the data source is an object that implements IList, IListSource, or IBindingList, a CurrencyManager will be returned.
The Current property returns the current item in the underlying list. To change the current item, set the Position property to a new value. The value must be greater than 0, and must be less than the value of the Count property.
If the underlying data source implements the IBindingList interface, and the AllowNew property is set to true, you can use the AddNew method.
Example
The following example binds a TextBox control to a column in a DataTable, gets the CurrencyManager for the binding, and sets its position.
[Visual Basic] ' Place the next line into the Declarations section of the form. Private myCurrencyManager As CurrencyManager Private Sub BindControl(myTable As DataTable) ' Bind a TextBox control to a DataTable column in a DataSet. TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", myTable, "CompanyName") ' Specify the CurrencyManager for the DataTable. myCurrencyManager = CType(me.BindingContext(myTable), CurrencyManager) ' Set the initial Position of the control. myCurrencyManager.Position = 0 End Sub Private Sub MoveNext(myCurrencyManager As CurrencyManager) If myCurrencyManager.Position = myCurrencyManager.Count - 1 Then MessageBox.Show("You're at end of the records") Else myCurrencyManager.Position += 1 End If End Sub Private Sub MoveFirst(myCurrencyManager As CurrencyManager) myCurrencyManager.Position = 0 End Sub Private Sub MovePrevious(myCurrencyManager As CurrencyManager) If myCurrencyManager.Position = 0 Then MessageBox.Show("You're at the beginning of the records.") Else myCurrencyManager.Position -= 1 End if End Sub Private Sub MoveLast(myCurrencyManager As CurrencyManager) myCurrencyManager.Position = myCurrencyManager.Count - 1 End Sub [C#] private CurrencyManager myCurrencyManager; private void BindControl(DataTable myTable){ // Bind a TextBox control to a DataTable column in a DataSet. textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", myTable, "CompanyName"); // Specify the CurrencyManager for the DataTable. myCurrencyManager = (CurrencyManager)this.BindingContext[myTable]; // Set the initial Position of the control. myCurrencyManager.Position = 0; } private void MoveNext(CurrencyManager myCurrencyManager){ if (myCurrencyManager.Position == myCurrencyManager.Count - 1){ MessageBox.Show("You're at end of the records"); } else{ myCurrencyManager.Position += 1; } } private void MoveFirst(CurrencyManager myCurrencyManager){ myCurrencyManager.Position = 0; } private void MovePrevious(CurrencyManager myCurrencyManager ){ if(myCurrencyManager.Position == 0) { MessageBox.Show("You're at the beginning of the records."); } else{ myCurrencyManager.Position -= 1; } } private void MoveLast(CurrencyManager myCurrencyManager){ myCurrencyManager.Position = myCurrencyManager.Count - 1; } [C++] private: CurrencyManager __gc *myCurrencyManager; void BindControl(DataTable *myTable) { // Bind a TextBox control to a DataTable column in a DataSet. textBox1->DataBindings->Add(S"Text", myTable, S"CompanyName"); // Specify the CurrencyManager for the DataTable. this->myCurrencyManager = dynamic_cast<CurrencyManager *>(this->BindingContext->Item[myTable]); // Set the initial Position of the control. this->myCurrencyManager->Position = 0; }; void MoveNext(CurrencyManager *myCurrencyManager) { if (myCurrencyManager->Position == myCurrencyManager->Count - 1) { MessageBox::Show(S"You're at end of the records"); } else { myCurrencyManager->Position += 1; } }; void MoveFirst(CurrencyManager *myCurrencyManager) { myCurrencyManager->Position = 0; }; void MovePrevious(CurrencyManager *myCurrencyManager ) { if (myCurrencyManager->Position == 0) { MessageBox::Show(S"You're at the beginning of the records."); } else { myCurrencyManager->Position -= 1; } }; void MoveLast(CurrencyManager *myCurrencyManager) { myCurrencyManager->Position = myCurrencyManager->Count - 1; }; [JScript] private var myCurrencyManager : CurrencyManager; private function BindControl(myTable : DataTable){ // Bind a TextBox control to a DataTable column in a DataSet. textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", myTable, "CompanyName"); // Specify the CurrencyManager for the DataTable. myCurrencyManager = CurrencyManager(this.BindingContext[myTable]); // Set the initial Position of the control. myCurrencyManager.Position = 0; } private function MoveNext(myCurrencyManager : CurrencyManager){ if (myCurrencyManager.Position == myCurrencyManager.Count - 1){ MessageBox.Show("You're at end of the records"); } else{ myCurrencyManager.Position += 1; } } private function MoveFirst(myCurrencyManager : CurrencyManager){ myCurrencyManager.Position = 0; } private function MovePrevious(myCurrencyManager : CurrencyManager){ if(myCurrencyManager.Position == 0) { MessageBox.Show("You're at the beginning of the records."); } else{ myCurrencyManager.Position -= 1; } } private function MoveLast(myCurrencyManager : CurrencyManager){ myCurrencyManager.Position = myCurrencyManager.Count - 1; }
