CollectionChangeEventArgs.Action Property

public:
 virtual property System::ComponentModel::CollectionChangeAction Action { System::ComponentModel::CollectionChangeAction get(); };

public virtual System.ComponentModel.CollectionChangeAction Action { get; }

member this.Action : System.ComponentModel.CollectionChangeAction

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Action As CollectionChangeAction

One of the CollectionChangeAction values.

The following code example demonstrates the use of this member. In the example, an event handler reports on the occurrence of the AutoCompleteStringCollection.CollectionChanged event. This report helps you to learn when the event occurs and can assist you in debugging. To report on multiple events or on events that occur frequently, consider replacing MessageBox.Show with Console.WriteLine or appending the message to a multiline TextBox.

To run the example code, paste it into a project that contains an instance of type AutoCompleteStringCollection named AutoCompleteStringCollection1. Then ensure that the event handler is associated with the AutoCompleteStringCollection.CollectionChanged event.

private void AutoCompleteStringCollection1_CollectionChanged(Object sender, CollectionChangeEventArgs e) {

System.Text.StringBuilder messageBoxCS = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Action", e.Action );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Element", e.Element );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
MessageBox.Show(messageBoxCS.ToString(), "CollectionChanged Event" );
}

Private Sub AutoCompleteStringCollection1_CollectionChanged(sender as Object, e as CollectionChangeEventArgs) _ 
     Handles AutoCompleteStringCollection1.CollectionChanged

    Dim messageBoxVB as New System.Text.StringBuilder()
    messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Action", e.Action)
    messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
    messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Element", e.Element)
    messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
    MessageBox.Show(messageBoxVB.ToString(),"CollectionChanged Event")

End Sub
