Returns a reference to an IEnumerator interface, whose purpose is to grant access to an enumeration's items.

Public Function GetEnumerator() As IEnumerator

Remarks

When GetEnumerator is called, it constructs an enumerator object containing the current version number in the collection and a reference to the collection's items. Every time the enumerator is accessed, it compares the version of the enumerator with the version of the collection. If the versions do not match, it means that the collection has changed; an exception then occurs.

Example

The following example shows how to use GetEnumerator to retrieve a member of an enumeration.

Imports System.Collections
Public Class TestClass : Implements IEnumerable

Public Function GetEnumerator() As IEnumerator Implements _
IEnumerable.GetEnumerator
   Return CType(Me, IEnumerator)
End Function
