BindingList<T>()

Source:

BindingList.cs

Initializes a new instance of the BindingList<T> class using default values.

public BindingList ();

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to construct a new BindingList<T>. For the complete example, see the BindingList<T> class overview topic.

    // Declare a new BindingListOfT with the Part business object.
    BindingList<Part> listOfParts; 
    private void InitializeListOfParts()
    {
        // Create the new BindingList of Part type.
        listOfParts = new BindingList<Part>();

        // Allow new parts to be added, but not removed once committed.        
        listOfParts.AllowNew = true;
        listOfParts.AllowRemove = false;

        // Raise ListChanged events when new parts are added.
        listOfParts.RaiseListChangedEvents = true;

        // Do not allow parts to be edited.
        listOfParts.AllowEdit = false;
        
        // Add a couple of parts to the list.
        listOfParts.Add(new Part("Widget", 1234));
        listOfParts.Add(new Part("Gadget", 5647));
    }

BindingList<T>(IList<T>)

Source:

BindingList.cs

Initializes a new instance of the BindingList<T> class with the specified list.

public BindingList (System.Collections.Generic.IList<T> list);

Parameters

list

IList<T>

An IList<T> of items to be contained in the BindingList<T>.

Remarks

Use this BindingList<T> to create a BindingList<T> that is backed by list, which ensures that changes to list are reflected in the BindingList<T>.
