protected abstract ICollection<TBusinessObject> GetData ()

protected abstract function GetData () : ICollection<TBusinessObject>

Return Value

Example

The following code example shows how to override the GetData method and add business objects to the list:

protected override ICollection<BusinessObject> GetData()
{
    List<BusinessObject> list = new List<BusinessObject>();

    BusinessObject businessObj = new BusinessObject();
    businessObj.AdminName = "administrator1";
    businessObj.ComputerName = "Computer1";
    businessObj.Location = "Building 1";
    businessObj.System = "Windows Vista";

    list.Add(businessObj);

    businessObj = new BusinessObject();
    businessObj.AdminName = "administrator2";
    businessObj.ComputerName = "Computer2";
    businessObj.Location = "Building 2";
    businessObj.System = "Windows Vista";

    list.Add(businessObj);

    return list;
}

Remarks

TBusinessObject represents a business object that encapsulates information and methods that relate to business data or business functionality. The information in the business object is exposed as properties.

The code example for this method shows business objects that are created from a class that uses properties to make information available. Business objects can also be created from other sources, such as databases or services.
