DataGridColumnCollection.GetEnumerator Method

Definition

public:
 virtual System::Collections::IEnumerator ^ GetEnumerator();
public System.Collections.IEnumerator GetEnumerator ();
abstract member GetEnumerator : unit -> System.Collections.IEnumerator
override this.GetEnumerator : unit -> System.Collections.IEnumerator
Public Function GetEnumerator () As IEnumerator

Returns

A IEnumerator interface that contains all DataGridColumn-derived column objects in the DataGridColumnCollection.

Implements

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetEnumerator method to create a System.Collections.IEnumerator interface that can be iterated though to display the contents of the DataGridColumnCollection collection.

Remarks

Use this method to create a System.Collections.IEnumerator interface that can be iterated through easily to get each item in the DataGridColumnCollection collection.

Use the IEnumerator.Current property to get the item currently pointed to in the collection.

Use the IEnumerator.MoveNext method to move to the next item in the collection.

Use the IEnumerator.Reset method to move the enumerator to the initial position.

Note

The IEnumerator.MoveNext method must be called after creating a System.Collections.IEnumerator object, or after using the IEnumerator.Reset method to move the enumerator to the first item in the collection. Otherwise, the item represented by the IEnumerator.Current property is undefined.
