Creates a view based on the specified IBindingList data source.

Namespace:  C1.LiveLinq
Assembly:  C1.LiveLinq (in C1.LiveLinq.dll)

Syntax

C#
public static View<T> AsLive<T>(
	this IBindingList source,
	ViewOrder order
)
Visual Basic
<ExtensionAttribute> _
Public Shared Function AsLive(Of T) ( _
	source As IBindingList, _
	order As ViewOrder _
) As View(Of T)

Parameters

source
Type: System.ComponentModel..::..IBindingList
The IBindingList data source to expose as a view.
order
Type: C1.LiveLinq.LiveViews..::..ViewOrder
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 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 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.
