The following code example creates a DataTable and a ListObject, and then binds the ListObject to the DataTable. It then displays the source of the list in a message.
This example is for a document-level customization.
Private Sub ListObject_SourceType()
' Create a new DataSet and DataTable.
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables.Add("Customers")
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("LastName"))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("FirstName"))
' Add a new row to the DataTable.
Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
dr("LastName") = "Chan"
dr("FirstName") = "Gareth"
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
' Create a list object.
Dim List1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject = _
Me.Controls.AddListObject(Me.Range("A1"), _
"List1")
' Bind the list object to the DataTable.
List1.AutoSetDataBoundColumnHeaders = True
List1.SetDataBinding(ds, "Customers", _
"LastName", "FirstName")
' Get the source type and display it in a message.
MessageBox.Show("The source type of List1 is " & _
List1.SourceType.ToString() & ".")
End Sub
private void ListObject_SourceType()
{
// Create a new DataSet and DataTable.
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
DataTable dt = ds.Tables.Add("Customers");
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("LastName"));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("FirstName"));
// Add a new row to the DataTable.
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["LastName"] = "Chan";
dr["FirstName"] = "Gareth";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
// Create a list object.
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject list1 =
this.Controls.AddListObject(
this.Range["A1"], "list1");
// Bind the list object to the DataTable.
list1.AutoSetDataBoundColumnHeaders = true;
list1.SetDataBinding(ds, "Customers", "LastName",
"FirstName");
// Get the source type and display it in a message.
MessageBox.Show("The source type of list1 is " +
list1.SourceType.ToString() + ".");
