Examples

This example shows how to check the number of RegisteredSubscriber objects in the RegisteredSubscriberCollection accessed from the RegisteredSubscribers property.

Remarks

A RegisteredSubscriber object in the collection can be accessed from the Item[] property using an [Int32] index value or using a [String] index value that is the Subscriber name.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of objects in the referenced collection.

(Inherited from ReplicationBaseCollection)
IsSynchronized

Gets whether or not access to the collection is synchronized and is therefore thread-safe.

(Inherited from ReplicationBaseCollection)
Item[Int32]

Gets a RegisteredSubscriber object in the collection by index number.

Item[String]

Gets a RegisteredSubscriber object in the collection by name.

SyncRoot

Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection.

(Inherited from ReplicationBaseCollection)

Methods

CopyTo(Array, Int32)

Copies the collection to an array.

(Inherited from ReplicationBaseCollection)
CopyTo(RegisteredSubscriberCollection, Int32)

Makes a copy of the collection.

GetEnumerator()

Gets an enumerator that is used to iterate through the objects in a collection.

(Inherited from ReplicationBaseCollection)
InitList()

Initializes collection of replication base.

(Inherited from ReplicationBaseCollection)
Refresh()

Refreshes the collection.
