Question

How can I convert BindingList to List ?

Alfreda

BindingList implements the IList interface. Are you sure you need an actual List? – Immensity

Answer 1

Try this

List<int> list = yourBindingList.ToList();

int is your type =)

I don't see a ToList() or Cast() method with my BindingList nor in MSDN. Is this a different BindingList than System.ComponentModel.BindingList<T>? – Knapsack

@RichShealer - A bit late but you need to make sure you add the using System.Linq; ToList() is an extension method. – Generate

Answer 2

If you're using .NET 2.0, then this is the solution:

public List<T> ToList()
{
    return new List<T>(this); // this - is a BindingList compatible object
}

Answer 3

List list = yourBindingList.Cast().ToList();
