GetList(Object, String)

public:
 static System::Object ^ GetList(System::Object ^ list);
public static object GetList (object list);
public static object? GetList (object? list);
static member GetList : obj -> obj
Public Shared Function GetList (list As Object) As Object

Parameters

list
Object

The data source to examine for its underlying list.

Returns

An Object representing the underlying list if it exists; otherwise, the original data source specified by list.

Remarks

If the data source specified by the list parameter implements the IListSource interface, then the GetList method will return an object of type IList that represents the associated list. Otherwise, this method will just return the specified data source since there is no underlying list.

Applies to

GetList(Object, String)

Returns an object, typically a list, from the evaluation of a specified data source and optional data member.

public:
 static System::Object ^ GetList(System::Object ^ dataSource, System::String ^ dataMember);
public static object GetList (object dataSource, string dataMember);
public static object? GetList (object? dataSource, string? dataMember);
static member GetList : obj * string -> obj
Public Shared Function GetList (dataSource As Object, dataMember As String) As Object

Parameters

dataSource
Object

The data source from which to find the list.

dataMember
String

The name of the data source property that contains the list. This can be null.

Returns

An Object representing the underlying list if it was found; otherwise, dataSource.

Exceptions

The specified data member name did not match any of the properties found for the data source.

Remarks

If the data member is null or an empty string (""), the GetList method returns dataSource.

If dataSource is not a list, GetList returns the value of the dataSource property that matches the dataMember value.

If dataSource is a list, in that it implements either the ICurrencyManagerProvider or IEnumerable interfaces, then the underlying list is obtained by choosing an item from the list and querying that item for the value of the property named by dataMember.
