IADsPropertyList::Reset

The IADsPropertyList::Reset method resets the list to the first item.

HRESULT Reset(void);

Return Values

This method supports the standard HRESULT values, including S_OK. For other return values, see ADSI Error Codes.

Example Code [Visual Basic]

The following Visual Basic code snippet shows how the Reset method is used.

Dim propList As IADsPropertyList
On Error Resume Next
 
Set propList = GetObject("LDAP://DC=Microsoft,DC=com")
 
propList.GetInfo
Set v = propList.Next()
Do While (Not (IsNull(v)) And Err.Number = 0)
 
    Set propEnty = v
    If v.Name = "uSNCreated" Then 'Item() method could be used instead.
       Debug.Print v.Name
       Debug.Print v.ADsType
       Exit Do
    End If
 
    Set v = propList.Next
Loop
 
propList.Reset

Example Code [C++]

The following C++ code snippet shows the effect produced by a call to the IADsPropertyList::Reset method. The code of the GetPropertyCache and PropertyNext functions are listed under IADsPropertyList and IADsPropertyList::Next accordingly.

IADsPropertyList *GetPropertyCache(LPWSTR);
IADsPropertyEntry *PropertyNext(IADsPropertyList *);
 
void TestResetList()
{
    IADsPropertyList *pList;
    pList=GetPropertyCache(L"WinNT://kding1,computer");
 
    long count;
    pList->get_PropertyCount(&count);
    printf("Number of properties before reset: %d\n",count);
 
    printf("Walking up the property list before reset: \n");
    IADsPropertyEntry *pEntry;
    BSTR bstr;
    for (int i=0; i<count-1; i++) {
        pEntry = PropertyNext(pList);
        pEntry->get_Name(&bstr);
        printf("   Name : %S\n",bstr);
    }
 
    count = -1;
    pList->Reset();
    pList->get_PropertyCount(&count);
    printf("Number of properties after reset: %d\n",count);
 
    pEntry = PropertyNext(pList);
    pEntry->get_Name(&bstr);
    printf("    Name : %S\n",bstr);
 
    pEntry->Release();
    pList->Release();
    SysFreeString(bstr);
}
