# clsManualClassAssociationCollection
Enumerates manual class association rows. Its factory methods retrieve these rows through BOF criteria objects, and its helpers expose the keyed or effective-dated filters callers use after load.
## Purpose
- Enumerates manual class association rows.
- Its factory methods retrieve these rows through BOF criteria objects, and its helpers expose the keyed or effective-dated filters callers use after load.

| Remove | `Public Overloads Sub Remove(ByVal inManualClassNum As String)` | Removes the first live association whose ManualClassNum matches the supplied manual class number. |
| NewManualClassAssociations | `Public Shared Function NewManualClassAssociations(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo) As clsManualClassAssociationCollection` | Creates a new editable collection with BOF list-management flags enabled. |
| GetManualClassAssociations | `Public Shared Function GetManualClassAssociations(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo, ByVal inManualClassNum As String) As clsManualClassAssociationCollection` | Retrieves manual class association rows using the key, date, or period criteria supplied by this overload. |
| GetManualClassAssociations | `Public Shared Function GetManualClassAssociations(ByVal inDataportal As IDataPortalInfo) As List(Of clsManualClassAssociation)` | Retrieves manual class association rows using the key, date, or period criteria supplied by this overload. |

## Behavioral notes
- Rows are loaded through the BOF data portal first; the collection then applies any additional in-memory filtering or keyed selection.
## Constraints and usage notes
- Lookups that do not find a matching row return `Nothing` or an empty filtered collection, so callers should handle missing results explicitly.
