Examples

The following code example demonstrates the List, RemoveAt, and Count members. To run this example, paste the code into a form that contains a BindingSource named BindingSource1, two labels named label1 and label2, and a button named button1. Associate the button1_Click method with the Click event for button1. Visual Basic users will need to add a reference to System.Data.dll.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Create the connection string, data adapter and data table.
    SqlConnection connectionString =
         new SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=Northwind;" +
         "Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;");
    SqlDataAdapter customersTableAdapter =
        new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Customers", connectionString);
    DataTable customerTable = new DataTable();

    // Fill the adapter with the contents of the customer table.
    customersTableAdapter.Fill(customerTable);

    // Set data source for BindingSource1.
    BindingSource1.DataSource = customerTable;

    // Set the label text to the number of items in the collection before
    // an item is removed.
    label1.Text = "Starting count: " + BindingSource1.Count.ToString();

    // Access the List property and remove an item.
    BindingSource1.List.RemoveAt(4);

    // Remove an item directly from the BindingSource. 
    // This is equivalent to the previous line of code.
    BindingSource1.RemoveAt(4);

    // Show the new count.
    label2.Text = "Count after removal: " + BindingSource1.Count.ToString();
}

Remarks

The Count property gets the number of items in the underlying list represented by the List property as modified by the value of the Filter property.
