Running old VB 6 collections in C#
Hi,
I want to loop around an old VB 6 collection using C#. The VB collection comes from a dll.
The old VB code that wrote out the collection looked like this:
'*************************
Dim User, Users
Set Users = Users.displayList(arg1, arg2, arg3) 'Call the COM object, pass in parameters
For Each User in Users 'Loop around the collection and print
Response.Write User.firstName
Next
**************************
I have referenced the dll inside ASP.Net and can create the object, but how do I return the collection and loop around to print out its values?
AD.Users users = new AD.UsersClass();
AD.User user = new AD.UserClass();
// A bit lost now ???????????????????????

Cheers sedmans, but before I can loop around the collection, I need to call a function inside the dll that builds the collection according to the arguments passed in. The same function returns a collection object of users, which I can then print out:
In VB I would use the SET statement:
'*************************
Set Users = Users.displayList(arg1, arg2, arg3)
For Each User In Users...
**************************
How do I call the function 'displayList' in class 'Users', pass a collection back and loop around it?
In VB I would use the SET statement:
'*************************
Set Users = Users.displayList(arg1, arg2, arg3)

If the dll is an ActiveX dll then you need to do is add a reference to the dll and then you have access to it.

I have a reference to it, and with Intellisense, I can see my 'displaylist' function, I know it is referenced. I can't loop around my collection until I call the function 'displaylist' inside the 'Users' class.
Would the code look anything like this:
AD.User user = new AD.User();
AD.Users users = new AD.Users();
foreach (AD.User user in Users.displayList(arg1, arg2, arg3))
{
// work with the items.
}
Or how do I return the Users collection to a variable in C# so I can then loop around it?

Try,
AD.User user = new AD.User();
AD.Users users = Users.displayList(arg1, arg2, arg3);
foreach (AD.User user in users)
{
// work with the items.
}
AD.User user = new AD.User();
AD.Users users = Users.displayList(arg1, arg2, arg3);
foreach (AD.User user in users)
{
// work with the items.
}

My code was a bit of a variation on your answer, but basically correct. Thanks alot
The syntax is
foreach (AD.User user in Users)
{
// work with the items.
}
