Creates a view based on the specified System.ComponentModel.IBindingList data source.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function AsLive(Of T)( _
   ByVal source As System.ComponentModel.IBindingList, _
   ByVal order As ViewOrder _
) As View(Of T)

public static View<T> AsLive<T>( 
   System.ComponentModel.IBindingList source,
   ViewOrder order
)

Parameters

source: The System.ComponentModel.IBindingList data source to expose as a view.
order: Specifies whether to preserve source item order.

Type Parameters

T: The type of the elements in the view.

Return Value

A view that contains the same elements as the System.ComponentModel.IBindingList.

Remarks

Use this method to build views from existing data sources. The only requirements for the data source is that it implements the standard data binding interface System.ComponentModel.IBindingList.

If the order parameter specifies preserving item order, the order of items in the source is preserved, at a certain performance cost, in the resulting view and in views based on it (for example, if you filter it with Where).

Note that Join does not preserve source order. If you need to order a join result, use OrderBy after Join.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
