abstract class

This abstract base class is used to implement specialized dictionary style collections. Classes derived from DictionaryBase allow for strongly typed key and value pairs. A set of protected instance methods is defined to be overridden by derived classes. These methods allow a class to specify customized processes when functions are performed on the derived object. For example, OnSet( ) lets you perform a function before you set a new element in the dictionary, while OnSetComplete( ) lets you perform a function after a value is set.

 public abstract class  DictionaryBase  : IDictionary, ICollection, IEnumerable {  // Protected Constructors  protected  DictionaryBase  ( );  // Public Instance Properties  public int  Count  {get; }  // implements ICollection   // Protected Instance Properties  protected IDictionary  Dictionary  {get; }    protected Hashtable  InnerHashtable  {get; }  // Public Instance Methods  public void  Clear  ( );  // implements IDictionary  public void  CopyTo  (Array   array   , int   index   );  // implements ICollection  public IDictionaryEnumerator  GetEnumerator  ( );  // implements IDictionary   // Protected Instance Methods  protected virtual void  OnClear  ( );    protected virtual void  OnClearComplete  ( );    protected virtual object  OnGet  (object   key   , object   currentValue   );    protected virtual void  OnInsert  (object   key   , object   value   );    protected virtual void  OnInsertComplete  (object   key   , object   value   );    protected virtual void  OnRemove  (object   key   , object   value   );    protected virtual void  OnRemoveComplete  (object   key   , object   value   );    protected virtual void  OnSet  (object   key   , object   oldValue   , object   newValue   );    protected virtual void  OnSetComplete  (object   key   , object   oldValue   , object   newValue   );    protected virtual void  OnValidate  (object   key   , object   value   ); }
