Examples

The following code example demonstrates many of the properties and methods of Collection<T>. The code example creates a collection of strings with the Collection<T>() constructor, uses the Add method to add several strings, displays the Count, and lists the strings. The example uses the IndexOf method to find the index of a string and the Contains method to determine whether a string is in the collection. The example inserts a string using the Insert method and retrieves and sets strings using the default Item[] property (the indexer in C#). The example removes strings by string identity using the Remove method and by index using the RemoveAt method. Finally, the Clear method is used to clear all strings from the collection.

Source:: Collection.cs

Source:: Collection.cs

Initializes a new instance of the Collection<T> class as a wrapper for the specified list.

public:
 Collection(System::Collections::Generic::IList<T> ^ list);

public Collection (System.Collections.Generic.IList<T> list);

new System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<'T> : System.Collections.Generic.IList<'T> -> System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<'T>

Public Sub New (list As IList(Of T))

Parameters

list: IList<T>

The list that is wrapped by the new collection.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

list is null.

Remarks

The elements of the list are not copied. The list is wrapped by the collection, so that subsequent changes to the elements of the list are visible through the Collection<T>.
