GetValueList  
Method  
Gets a read-only, dynamically updated list of current SortedList values
SortedList Class
System.Collections NameSpace
CF1.  Function GetValueList ( ) : IList;
CF : Methods with this mark are Compact Framework Compatible
Description
Gets a read-only Ilist of all the Values in the current SortedList. The interesting and very useful aspect to this list is that it is hot-linked to the SortedList : changes to the latter are immediately reflected in the IList.
