Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.dll)

'Declaration
Sub SetDataBinding ( _
dataSource As Object, _
dataMember As String _
)
void SetDataBinding(
Object dataSource,
string dataMember
)
Parameters
- dataSource
Type: System.Object
The object to use as a data source for the ListObject control.
- dataMember
Type: System.String
The DataMember that specifies the property to bind to within the object returned by the DataSource.
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
SetDataBindingFailedException | Could not bind to the specified data source. |
ArgumentException | One or more of the arguments are invalid. |
ArgumentNullException | The dataSource argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
The data source can be any object that implements IList, IListSource, IBindingList, or IEnumerable.
The data member must be a property of the data source that returns a bindable collection. For example, a DataSet source has tables as data members.
Examples
The following code example creates a DataSet, a DataTable, and a ListObject. It then binds the list object to the DataSet and the DataTable.
This example is for a document-level customization.
Private Sub ListObject_SetDataBinding2()
Dim Ages As Integer() = {32, 44, 28, 61}
Dim Names As String() = {"Reggie", "Sally", _
"Henry", "Christine"}
' Create a data table with two columns.
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim table As DataTable = ds.Tables.Add("Customers")
Dim column1 As New DataColumn("Names", GetType(String))
Dim column2 As New DataColumn("Ages", GetType(Integer))
table.Columns.Add(column1)
table.Columns.Add(column2)
' Add the four rows of data to the table.
Dim row As DataRow
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 3
row = table.NewRow()
row("Names") = Names(i)
row("Ages") = Ages(i)
table.Rows.Add(row)
Next i
' Create the list object.
Dim List1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject = _
Me.Controls.AddListObject(Me.Range("A1", "B4"), "List1")
' Bind the list object to the table.
List1.SetDataBinding(ds, "Customers")
End Sub
private void ListObject_SetDataBinding2()
{
int[] Ages = { 32, 44, 28, 61 };
string[] Names = { "Reggie", "Sally", "Henry", "Christine" };
// Create a data table with two columns.
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataTable table = ds.Tables.Add("Customers");
DataColumn column1 = new DataColumn("Names", typeof(string));
DataColumn column2 = new DataColumn("Ages", typeof(int));
table.Columns.Add(column1);
table.Columns.Add(column2);
// Add the four rows of data to the table.
DataRow row;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
row = table.NewRow();
row["Names"] = Names[i];
row["Ages"] = Ages[i];
table.Rows.Add(row);
}
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject list1 =
this.Controls.AddListObject(this.Range["A1", "B4"], "list1");
// Bind the list object to the table.
list1.SetDataBinding(ds, "Customers");
}
