Definition

Namespace:

System.ComponentModel

Assembly:

System.ComponentModel.Primitives.dll

Source:

ComponentCollection.cs

Initializes a new instance of the ComponentCollection class using the specified array of components.

public:
 ComponentCollection(cli::array <System::ComponentModel::IComponent ^> ^ components);

public ComponentCollection (System.ComponentModel.IComponent[] components);

new System.ComponentModel.ComponentCollection : System.ComponentModel.IComponent[] -> System.ComponentModel.ComponentCollection

Public Sub New (components As IComponent())

Parameters

components

IComponent[]

An array of IComponent objects to initialize the collection with.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a ComponentCollection from an array of BookComponent objects.

//This code segment implements the IContainer interface.  The code segment 
//containing the implementation of ISite and IComponent can be found in the documentation
//for those interfaces.

//Implement the LibraryContainer using the IContainer interface.

    {
        //The book will be added without creation of the ISite object.
        m_bookList.Add(book);
    }

    public virtual void Add(IComponent book, string ISNDNNum)
