BindingSource.MoveFirst Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Source:

BindingSource.cs

Moves to the first item in the list.

C#

public void MoveFirst();

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the MoveNext, MoveFirst, Current, and Position members. To run this example, paste the code into a form that imports the System.Drawing.Drawing2D namespace and contains a BindingSource named BindingSource1 and a button named button1. Associate the Form1_Load and Form1_Paint methods with the Load and Paint events for the form, and 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#

void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Set the data source to the Brush type and populate
    // BindingSource1 with some brushes.
    BindingSource1.DataSource = typeof(System.Drawing.Brush);
    BindingSource1.Add(
        new TextureBrush(new Bitmap(typeof(Button), "Button.bmp")));
    BindingSource1.Add(new HatchBrush(HatchStyle.Cross, Color.Red));
    BindingSource1.Add(new SolidBrush(Color.Blue));
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // If you are not at the end of the list, move to the next item
    // in the BindingSource.
    if (BindingSource1.Position + 1 < BindingSource1.Count)
        BindingSource1.MoveNext();

    // Otherwise, move back to the first item.
    else
        BindingSource1.MoveFirst();

    // Force the form to repaint.
    this.Invalidate();
}

void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
    // Get the current item in the BindingSource.
    Brush item = (Brush)BindingSource1.Current;

    // If the current type is a TextureBrush, fill an ellipse.
    if (item.GetType() == typeof(TextureBrush))
        e.Graphics.FillEllipse(item,
           e.ClipRectangle);

    // If the current type is a HatchBrush, fill a triangle.
    else if (item.GetType() == typeof(HatchBrush))
        e.Graphics.FillPolygon(item,
            new Point[] { new Point(0, 0), new Point(0, 200),
            new Point(200, 0)});

    // Otherwise, fill a rectangle.
    else
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(
            (Brush)BindingSource1.Current, e.ClipRectangle);
}

Remarks

Changes the current value of the Position property to 0, the first item in the underlying data source.
