.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

IContainer

Synopsis

This interface is implemented by classes (such as Container) that hold and manage a set of Component objects. Contrast this with ISite, which binds a component to a host and provides the host’s services to that component. It provides members to Add() and Remove( ) a Component, and also get the set of Components in the container.

public interface IContainer : IDisposable {

// Public Instance Properties

   public ComponentCollection Components{get; }

// Public Instance Methods

   public void Add(IComponent component);

   public void Add(IComponent component, string name);

   public void Remove(IComponent component);

}
