C# Foreach statement does not contain public definition for GetEnumerator

Question

I\'m having a problem with a Windows Form application I\'m building in C#. The error is stating \"foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type \'CarBootSale.CarBootSale

Answer 1

You don't show us the declaration of carBootSaleList. However from the exception message I can see that it is of type CarBootSaleList. This type doesn't implement the IEnumerable interface and therefore cannot be used in a foreach.

Your CarBootSaleList class should implement IEnumerable:

public class CarBootSaleList : IEnumerable
{
    private List carbootsales;

    ...

    public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
    {
        return carbootsales.GetEnumerator();
    }

    IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
    {
        return carbootsales.GetEnumerator();
    }
}
