Examples
The following code example how to use the Add method. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form, and call the PopulateBindingSourceWithFonts
method from the form's constructor.
public BindingSource bindingSource1 = new BindingSource();
TextBox box1 = new TextBox();
private void PopulateBindingSourceWithFonts()
{
bindingSource1.CurrentChanged += new EventHandler(bindingSource1_CurrentChanged);
bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[2], 8.0F));
bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[4], 9.0F));
bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[6], 10.0F));
bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[8], 11.0F));
bindingSource1.Add(new Font(FontFamily.Families[10], 12.0F));
DataGridView view1 = new DataGridView();
view1.DataSource = bindingSource1;
view1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
view1.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
this.Controls.Add(view1);
box1.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
box1.Text = "Sample Text";
this.Controls.Add(box1);
box1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bindingSource1, "Name");
view1.Columns[7].DisplayIndex = 0;
}
void bindingSource1_CurrentChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
box1.Font = (Font)bindingSource1.Current;
}
Private WithEvents bindingSource1 As New BindingSource()
Private box1 As New TextBox()
Private Sub PopulateBindingSourceWithFonts()
bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(2), 8.0F))
bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(4), 9.0F))
bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(6), 10.0F))
bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(8), 11.0F))
bindingSource1.Add(New Font(FontFamily.Families(10), 12.0F))
Dim view1 As New DataGridView()
view1.DataSource = bindingSource1
view1.AutoGenerateColumns = True
view1.Dock = DockStyle.Top
Me.Controls.Add(view1)
box1.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom
box1.Text = "Sample Text"
Me.Controls.Add(box1)
view1.Columns("Name").DisplayIndex = 0
box1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bindingSource1, "Name")
End Sub
Sub bindingSource1_CurrentChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles bindingSource1.CurrentChanged
box1.Font = CType(bindingSource1.Current, Font)
End Sub
Remarks
The Add method refers the call to the underlying list's Add
method.
The internal list must contain homogenous types. If the DataSource property has not already been set, then the first object added to the list defines the type for the list.
This method raises the ListChanged event.
