The Employee class provides basic FirstName and LastName properties, and a constructor to initialize an object.
|
|
Public Class Employee
Private m_FirstName As String
Private m_LastName As String
Public Property FirstName() As String
Get
Return m_FirstName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
m_FirstName = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Property LastName() As String
Get
Return m_LastName
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
m_LastName = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub New(ByVal first_name As String, ByVal _
last_name As String)
m_FirstName = first_name
m_LastName = last_name
End Sub
End Class

The program creates a collection of Employee objects. It then simply sets the DataGrid control's DataSource property to the collection. The DataGrid automatically displays the Employee objects' properties and lets the user edit their values.
|
|
Dim m_Employees As Collection
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal _
e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
m_Employees = New Collection
m_Employees.Add(New Employee("Al", "Archer"))
m_Employees.Add(New Employee("Bo", "Bench"))
m_Employees.Add(New Employee("Cy", "Cinder"))
m_Employees.Add(New Employee("Di", "Diver"))
DataGrid1.DataSource = m_Employees
End Sub
