Hi Chris,
The Repeater ASP.NET web control's datasource can be set with any object
which implement the "System.Collections.IEnumerable " interface. Here is
the remark in MSDN:
-----------------------------------------
The DataSource can be any System.Collections.IEnumerable derived object
such as a System.Data.DataView for accessing databases, a
System.Collections.ArrayList, a System.Collections.Hashtable, or an array.
-----------------------------------------
Here is the weblink to the reference in MSDN:
#Repeater.DataSource Property
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebuiwebcontro
lsrepeaterclassdatasourcetopic.asp?frame=true
And as for the SearchResultCollection, here is its declaration in C#:
public class SearchResultCollection : MarshalByRefObject,
ICollection, IEnumerable, IDisposable
Here is the reference in MSDN on SearchResultCollection class:
#SearchResultCollection Class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdirectoryservi
cessearchresultcollectionclasstopic.asp?frame=true
We can see that it has implement the IEnumerable interface, so we can use
it as datasrouce for the WEbform repeater control. But since the
SearchResult object returned from Directory Query may contain many
particular properties, so I think you'd be careful when generate the
DataBinder Expresssion in the Repeater. Good Luck
.
