Public Function Select ( _

) As IEnumerable
'Usage

public IEnumerable Select(
DataSourceSelectArguments arguments
)

Return value
Type: System.Collections.IEnumerable

Remarks
The publicly exposed Select method calls the protected ExecuteSelect(DataSourceSelectArguments) method, passing the arguments parameter. Data-bound control authors should call the Select method rather than ExecuteSelect. Page developers, on the other hand, should never need to call the Select method as that is the responsibility of the data-bound control.
Before the data retrieval is performed, the OnSelecting method is called to raise the Selecting event. You can handle this event to examine the values of the parameters and to perform any preprocessing before data is retrieved.
