ObjectList Class

Enables you to specify multiple fields for display, per item in an object list.

public class System.Web.UI.MobileControls.ObjectList : 
   System.Web.UI.MobileControls.PagedControl, 
   System.Web.UI.INamingContainer, 
   System.Web.UI.MobileControls.ITemplateable, 
   System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler

Remarks

Much of the behavior of the ObjectList control, including support for templated rendering through device template sets and internal pagination, is similar to the behavior of the List class. For more information, see the Template Sets and Templated Controls or the Pagination documentation.

Example

This example shows how to create an array of a user-defined class and then bind it to an ObjectList object when the page loads.

<%@ Page Inherits= "System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobilePage"

<%@ Register TagPrefix="mobile"

<script language="vb" runat="server">
