[TypeConverterAttribute("Microsoft.SpeechServer.Authoring.DialogDesigner.EditFromCodeBesideStringConverter, Microsoft.SpeechServer.Authoring.DialogDesigner, Version=2.0.3400.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35")]

public Object DataSource { get; set; }

Property Value

The data source from which menu options are drawn. The default value is null.

Remarks

DataSource should implement System.Collections.IEnumerable or System.ComponentModel.IListSource.

Example

This example demonstrates how a string array can serve as the data source for a MenuActivity instance named chooseSize. In the highlighted line of code, DataSource is set with the array variable, sizeChoices. The next line of code calls DataBind, which binds chooseSize to its data source.

private string[] sizeChoices = new string[3] { "small", "medium", "large" };
public Workflow1()
{
  InitializeComponent();
  this.chooseSize.DataSource = sizeChoices;
  this.chooseSize.DataBind();
}

Thread Safety

All public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread-safe. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
