IEnumerable Interface exposes the enumerator, which supports a simple iteration over a non-generic collection.
Imports System
Imports System.Collections
Public Class Person
Public Sub New(ByVal fName As String, ByVal lName As String)
Me.firstName = fName
Me.lastName = lName
End Sub
Public firstName As String
Public lastName As String
End Class
Public Class People
Implements IEnumerable
Private _people() As Person
Public Sub New(ByVal pArray() As Person)
_people = New Person(pArray.Length - 1) {}
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To pArray.Length - 1
_people(i) = pArray(i)
Next i
End Sub
Public Function GetEnumerator() As IEnumerator _
Implements IEnumerable.GetEnumerator
Return New PeopleEnum(_people)
End Function
End Class
Public Class PeopleEnum
Implements IEnumerator
Public _people() As Person
Dim position As Integer = -1
Public Sub New(ByVal list() As Person)
_people = list
End Sub
Public Function MoveNext() As Boolean Implements IEnumerator.MoveNext
position = position + 1
Return (position < _people.Length)
End Function
Public Sub Reset() Implements IEnumerator.Reset
position = -1
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property Current() As Object Implements IEnumerator.Current
