Remarks

The ProviderCollection class is read/write by default. The SetReadOnly method makes the collection read-only. After a collection is set to read-only, some method calls (such as Remove and Add will result in an exception.

Note that most provider-based features will set their ProviderCollection object to read-only after creating instances of all of the configured providers.
