Implementing IEnumerable<t></t>

[Jammer 0]

Hi buchstaben, This is what I have now (got it working last night):

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace SampleSort.DataLayer
{
public class BuildFileList<T> : IEnumerable<T>
{
private List<T> fileList = new List<T>();

    public T Get(int pos)
    {
        return fileList\[pos\];
    }

    public void Add(T c)
    {
        fileList.Add(c);
    }

    public void Clear()
    {
        fileList.Clear();
    }

    public int Count
    {
        get { return fileList.Count; }
    }

    IEnumerator<T> IEnumerable<T>.GetEnumerator()
    {
        return fileList.GetEnumerator();
    }

    IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
    {
        return fileList.GetEnumerator();
    }
}

public class FileEntry
{
    private string \_fileName;
    private string \_fileSize;
    private string \_fileExt;
    private string \_fileDate;

    public FileEntry(string \_fileName, string \_fileSize, string \_fileExt, string \_fileDate)
    {
        this.\_fileName = \_fileName;
        this.\_fileSize = \_fileSize;
        this.\_fileExt = \_fileExt;
        this.\_fileDate = \_fileDate;
    }

    public string FileName
    {
        get { return \_fileName;}
        set {\_fileName = value;}
    }
    public string FileSize
    {
        get { return \_fileSize; }
        set { \_fileSize = value; }
    }
    public string FileExt
    {
        get { return \_fileExt; }
        set { \_fileExt = value; }
    }
    public string FileDate
    {
        get { return \_fileDate; }
        set { \_fileDate = value; }
    }
}

}

Like I said even though this is only using strings at the moment its going to be expanded to include other value types (bool, ints, double etc...) This is being used by:

    public static List<FileEntry> ScanDirectories(string scanEntryPoint)
    {

        // build the store
        //BuildGenericLists SingleDirectoryFileStore = new BuildGenericLists();
        List<FileEntry> SingleDirectoryFileStore = new List<FileEntry>();

        // grab the start location of the recursion
        DirectoryInfo S

in the code you provided, i cant see any use of your class BuildFileList (thats good, since i still believe it is not needed in your case). i've never worked with WPF, but i think i can give you a hint anyway. first, in your button click event handler, dont specify the return value as object. you know it is a List<FileInfo>, so you can use it. to bind this to your ui control, you have to tell the control the bound type. this will be FileEntry, since FileEntry contains the relevant information, not your list. let's take a gridview as user control. Each row will represent a FileEntry, so you need to specify FileEntry as bound type. if you do that at design time, your gridview will autmatically get columns for each property of FileEntry. having this done, simply say myGridView.DataSource = singleDirectoryResults (assuming that singleDirectoryResults is of type List<FileInfo>.

All the binding examples I have seen link into a class (such as BuildFileList) which in my case is an empty definition of an object.

you will need to linke to FileEntry class. hope this is not too weird, since i dont have any dev environment here.

Thanks for this ... I'm just off making some changes and trying a few things you suggest. Thank! :)
