'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Function GetRecordCount() As Integer

Number of records in the data source.

Remarks

Default implementation always returns -1. If a derived class is able to quickly determine number of records the method must be overriden and the number returned. Otherwise there is no need to override the method as the DataRecordCollection will determine the number on its own.
