Remarks

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.

Constructors

DataGridItemCollection(ArrayList)

Initializes a new instance of the DataGridItemCollection class.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of DataGridItem objects in the collection.

IsReadOnly

Gets a value that indicates whether the DataGridItem objects in the DataGridItemCollection collection can be modified.

IsSynchronized

Gets a value indicating whether access to the DataGridItemCollection collection is synchronized (thread-safe).

Item[Int32]

Gets the DataGridItem object at the specified index in the collection.

SyncRoot

Gets the object that can be used to synchronize access to the DataGridItemCollection collection.

Methods

CopyTo(Array, Int32)

Copies all the items from this DataGridItemCollection collection to the specified Array, starting at the specified index in the Array.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()

Returns a IEnumerator-implemented object that contains all the DataGridItem objects in the DataGridItemCollection collection.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)

Extension Methods

Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable)

Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.

OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable)

Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.

AsParallel(IEnumerable)

Enables parallelization of a query.

AsQueryable(IEnumerable)

Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.
