Generic UserControl

[jose74]

In my application I use a usercontrol that contains a grid and buttons for paging functionality. The user can specify how many items he wants to see per page. To use custom objects I used generic lists which contain the items. So the control contains two collections:
List<Article> _wholeCollection;
List<Article> _shownCollection;

The problem is, that I want to use the control for several modules, e.g. Addresses.

But what do I have to do with the collections? It should be possible to create a generic usercontrol(ListCtrl<Article>).

Has anyone ideas how to create something like that?

So you want to have a generic list, that can display any type of information such as name or address?

What if they want multiple, like name and address?


I would make your Graphical list - a list view that contains column headers.

What you can do is expose those column headers and the items/subitems so your list works very much like a listview.

Is that something similar to what you are looking for?

Hi, sorry for the late response!

The problem is to work with the collections. The usercontrol contains a grid (or a listview) and buttons for paging. The paging fills the collection _shownCollection from _wholeCollection.
But I can not specifiy the type of the collectionitems.
