IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection Interface

Represents a difference collection in which the left and right sequences are ITokenizedStringList objects, and each difference may itself contain an IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection.

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Interface IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection _
    Inherits IDifferenceCollection(Of String), IEnumerable(Of Difference),  _
    IEnumerable

public interface IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection : IDifferenceCollection<string>, 
    IEnumerable<Difference>, IEnumerable

public interface class IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection : IDifferenceCollection<String^>, 
    IEnumerable<Difference^>, IEnumerable

type IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection =  
    interface
        interface IDifferenceCollection<string>
        interface IEnumerable<Difference>

public interface IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection extends IDifferenceCollection<String>, IEnumerable<Difference>, IEnumerable

The IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Differences	Returns the difference collection as a list. (Inherited from IDifferenceCollection<T>.)
	LeftDecomposition	Gets the original left tokenized list.
	LeftSequence	Gets the left sequence that was used to create this difference collection. (Inherited from IDifferenceCollection<T>.)
	MatchSequence	Gets the original match sequence that was used to create this difference collection. (Inherited from IDifferenceCollection<T>.)
	RightDecomposition	Get the original right tokenized list.
	RightSequence	Gets the right sequence that was used to create this difference collection. (Inherited from IDifferenceCollection<T>.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	GetContainedDifferences	Gets the contained difference collection for the given element, if it has any.
	GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator that iterates through the collection. (Inherited from IEnumerable<Difference>.)
	GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator that iterates through a collection. (Inherited from IEnumerable.)
	HasContainedDifferences	Determines whether the Difference at the given index itself contains differences.

Remarks

You can get this collection by using the IHierarchicalStringDifferenceService.

hen you request multiple types of string differencing (e.g. line and word), the first level of differences will be the lines, and each line difference may contain an IHierarchicalDifferenceCollection of word differences. See IHierarchicalStringDifferenceService for more information and examples.
