CurrencyManager Class

Manages a list of Binding objects.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in system.windows.forms.dll)

'Declaration
Public Class CurrencyManager
	Inherits BindingManagerBase
'Usage
Dim instance As CurrencyManager

public class CurrencyManager extends BindingManagerBase
public class CurrencyManager extends BindingManagerBase

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 return only 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 the IList, IListSource, or IBindingList interface, 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.

The following code example binds a TextBox control to a column in a DataTable, gets the CurrencyManager for the binding, and sets its position.

' 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
