Enabling LINQ for BindingListView

Question

Andrew Davies created an excellent little class on sourceforge called BindingListView which essentially allows you to bind a collection to a Data

Answer 1

Ok this is what I got: Here is my extension method :

public static class BindingViewListExtensions
{
  public static void Where(this BindingListView list, Func function)
  {
    // I am not sure I like this, but we know it is a List
    var lists = list.DataSource as List;

    foreach (var item in lists.Where(function))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("I got item {0}", item);
    }
  }

}

And then I used it like :

    List source = new List() { "One", "Two", "Thre" };

    BindingListView binding = new BindingListView(source);

    binding.Where(xx => xx == "One");

I guess where in the extension method could return the found item.
