List is a collection object and helpful for performing programming task.
Example:
- You can use as datasource.
- Manipulate data,
- Add : Add method for new string add at the bottom of the list.
- Sort : Sort list items.
- Delete: Remove item from list.
- Update: Update list object with index of item.
- Convert To Array
- Convert To String
- Lab Practice Questions
List<t>: t stand for any data type.
Example:
_listOfFriend.Add(): Add method for new string and add at the bottom of the list.
Figure 1: Above screen shot of Codebehing file.
In image shown how to create list object and call list. Add method to insert new list item.
- List<string> : To create string object list.
- List<string> _listOfFriend = new List<string>();
- _listOfFriend.Add("Rajesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mahesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Ramesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Jayesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mitesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Pritesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Suresh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Dahnesh");
Figure 2: Add method detail
Figure 3: ASPX page code
After that you can attach to GridView as datasource.
- GridView1.DataSource = _listOfFriend;
- GridView1.DataBind();
Sort(): - List<string> _listOfFriend = new List<string>();
- _listOfFriend.Add("Rajesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mahesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Ramesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Jayesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mitesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Pritesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Suresh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Dahnesh");
- GridView1.DataSource = _listOfFriend;
- GridView1.DataBind();
By just adding SORT() method to list object, output will be visible as in the following,
You can see sorted output as mentioned above.
Remove():
Remove a list object with boolean return value
If searched item found it will return TRUE value otherwise FALSE.
In above code you can see Rajesh found then ItemFound variable value come as TRUE.
RemoveAt():
This will remove particular item from list as per zero index pattern. First item of list is 0 index item then 1, 2,3,4.
If total 5 item in list then index of list will be 4 because its start from 0.
- List<string> _listOfFriend = new List<string>();
- _listOfFriend.Add("Rajesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mahesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Ramesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Jayesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mitesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Pritesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Suresh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Dahnesh");
- GridView1.DataSource = _listOfFriend;
- GridView1.DataBind();
_listOfFriend.RemoveAt(1); Above command will erase second number of item that is Mahesh from list.
Update:
Update value of list item as per index number.
- List<string> _listOfFriend = new List<string>();
- _listOfFriend.Add("Rajesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mahesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Ramesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Jayesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Mitesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Pritesh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Suresh");
- _listOfFriend.Add("Dahnesh");
Now, the following code will change Mahesh value that is 1 index into Nagesh.
_listOfFriend[1] = "Nagesh";
Convert To Array
Convert List object in to Array.
- string[] FriendArray = _listOfFriend.ToArray();
Above will convert your List object into Array.
Convert To String
Convert List object into string.
- string[] FriendArray = _listOfFriend.ToArray();
- string result = string.Join(",",FriendArray);
- return result;
Lab Practice and Exercises - Write table from 1 to 100 and display in dropdown list, checkbox list and bulleted list.
Sample code having article code and lab practice test code attached.
