IListProvider.ListReady event

NOTE: This API is now obsolete.

Occurs when the entire list has been retrieved and is ready to be sent to a Web Part that implements the IListConsumer interface.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartTable instead")> _
Event ListReady As ListReadyEventHandler
'Usage
Dim instance As IListProvider
Dim handler As ListReadyEventHandler

AddHandler instance.ListReady, handler
[ObsoleteAttribute("Use System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.IWebPartTable instead")]
event ListReadyEventHandler ListReady

Remarks

The event handler receives an argument of type Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.Communication.ListReadyEventArgs containing data related to this event. The ListReadyEventArgs.List property provides information specific to this event.

The ListReady event should also be raised when the provided list changes (for example, when an addition, deletion, update of a row, or a filter change occurs).

Examples

The following code example overrides the PartCommunicationMain method and fires the ListReady event. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IListProvider interface.

      ' Step #8: Override the PartCommunicationMain method.
      ' The PartCommunicationMain method is called by the Web Part 
      ' infrastructure on the client during the ASP.NET PreRender
      ' event to allow the part to pass its primary data to the other 
      ' connected parts. It is important to always fire the ListReady 
      ' or PartialListReady event. Some parts
      ' may not behave properly if they are left waiting for this 
      ' information.
       Public Overrides Sub PartCommunicationMain()
            ' Ensure that all of the Web Part's controls are created.
            EnsureChildControls()

            'Check if connected
            If _connected Then                
                    ' Create the ListReadyEventArgs object for the ListProviderInit event.
                    Dim listReadyArgs As New ListReadyEventArgs()

                    ' If user clicked button, send the value.
                    If _listButtonClicked Then
                        ' Set the List to the value of the table in the 
                        ' DataGrid. This is the value that will be sent 
                        ' to the consumer Web Part.

                        ' null DataTable to the consumer Web Part.
                        listReadyArgs.List = Nothing
                    End If

            // Fire the ListReady event.
            // The consumer Web Part will receive the DataTable.
