Remarks

The GridViewRowCollection class is used to store and manage a collection of GridViewRow objects in a GridView control. Each row in a GridView control is represented by a GridViewRow object. The GridView control stores all of its data rows in the Rows collection.

The GridViewRowCollection class supports several ways to access the items in the collection:

Use the Item[] indexer to directly retrieve a GridViewRow object at a specific zero-based index.
Use the GetEnumerator method to retrieve an enumerator that can be used to iterate through the collection.
Use the CopyTo method to copy the items in the collection into an System.Array object, which can then be used to access the items in the collection.

To determine the total number of items in the collection, use the Count property

Constructors

GridViewRowCollection(ArrayList)

Initializes a new instance of the GridViewRowCollection class using the specified ArrayList object.

Properties

Count	Gets the number of items in the GridViewRowCollection object.
IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating whether the rows in the GridViewRowCollection object can be modified.
IsSynchronized	Gets a value indicating whether the GridViewRowCollection object is synchronized (thread-safe).
Item[Int32]	Gets the GridViewRow object at the specified index.
SyncRoot	Gets the object used to synchronize access to the collection.

Methods

CopyTo(GridViewRow[], Int32)	Copies all the items from this GridViewRowCollection to the specified Array object, starting at the specified index in the Array object.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator that contains all GridViewRow objects in the GridViewRowCollection.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

ICollection.CopyTo(Array, Int32)

For a description of this member, see CopyTo(Array, Int32).

Extension Methods

Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.
OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.
AsParallel(IEnumerable)	Enables parallelization of a query.
AsQueryable(IEnumerable)	Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.
