View Class

public abstract class View : IList, ICollection, IDisposable, INotifyPropertyChanged, IListSource, ITypedList, IItemProperties, ICollectionView, IEnumerable, INotifyCollectionChanged, IEditableCollectionView

Public MustInherit Class View
    Implements IList, ICollection, IDisposable, INotifyPropertyChanged, IListSource, ITypedList, IItemProperties, ICollectionView, IEnumerable, INotifyCollectionChanged, IEditableCollectionView

Remarks

Use this class to type variables that can accept views with different element types or a view with anonymous element type.

Properties

Name	Description
Count	Gets the total number of elements in the view.
CurrentItem	Gets the current item in the view.
DataBindingMode	Gets or sets the data binding mode for this view.
DeferredMaintenance	Gets the effective value of MaintenanceMode.
IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating whether this view is read-only, not updatable.
MaintenanceMode	Gets or sets a value controlling how the view is synchronized with changes in its base data.
MoveToFirstOnReset	Gets or sets a value indicating that the first item must be made current after initial loading or reset (on any Reset notification) if current item was not set by other means. The default is True.
Order	Gets a value indicating whether and how this view preserves item order if it exists in its base data source.
Rows	Gets the collection of ViewRow objects used for programmatic access to view elements (items) and for data binding.
Transaction	Gets an instance of ITransaction associated with the view. If a view has a transaction associated with it, that transaction's scope is opened automatically every time the view is updated, so the programmer does not need to do it manually in code.

Methods

Name	Description
AllowInResult(Type)	Specifies that a type with non-virtual properties can be used in a result selector.
AsCollectionViewFactory()	Returns an instance of ICollectionViewFactory that can be used as a source of a CollectionViewSource.
AsDynamic()	Used for views with anonymous type constructor as the result selector, converts the View to a View<dynamic> so it can be used for data binding and programmatic access.
DeferMaintenance()	Enters a defer cycle that you can use to make bulk changes to the view sources and delay automatic view maintenance.
Maintain()	Brings the view up to date with its source data.
PurgeEmptyGroups()	Remove empty groups from a grouping view.
Rebuild()	Re-populates the view by re-executing the view's query.
SetTransaction(ITransaction, bool)	Sets the value of the Transaction property.
