Update LIST<T> from a different form

[Vivek]

Hi,

I wish to update the LIST<T> created in PARENT FORM from the CHILD FORM.
Currently I have declared the LIST<Role> as public in my parent form. What
can I do to update the <LIST>?

Thanks

Vivek,

Why not pass the List<T> to the child form when you create it from the
parent? You can pass it through a constructor, through a property, public
field, or method.

Hope this helps.

It sure did. I'll have to find out how to pass the list to the child form.
can you please mention if you know an efficient way.

I already answered this, here is my reply from the other thread :

////////////////////////////
If you want to allow full interaction with a list from controls like
DataGridView, etc, then you should create your own generic list class that
implements a couple of interfaces :

GenericList<T> : IList<T>, IBindingList, ICancelAddNew
{
private IList<T> items = new List<T>;

...
}

In implementing this class you can then talk to the database from inside
this list class, intercepting the calls that would normally go straight to a
List<T> and adding your own code to keep the database in sync.

Because of the interfaces implemented, data-aware list controls should
update themselves automatically.

Vivek,

Again, why not just call a method on the child form, passing the list to
it? It's like passing a parameter to any other method.

I have a class ROLE with all the properties declared. I am adding the roles
to the list
I tried this and gave me an error
************************************************** ***
public RoleForm(int RoleID, List<T> lRole)

{

InitializeComponent();

_ID = RoleID;

}

************************************************** ************

ERROR:Error 1 The type or namespace name 'T' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Vivek,

Unless your class is Generic, you want to do this:

public RoleForm(int RoleId, List<Role> lRole)

By the way, you should not name your parameter lRole, but rather, Roles.
The public naming guidelines indicate that you should do something else.

The reason what I typed works is because when you say List<T>, if T
isn't a type parameter, then the compiler will look for a type named T. You
need to set the specific type for the generic parameter.
