This class is a dictionary collection in which values can be retrieved either by associated key or by index (meaning that the elements are specifically ordered). Keys are sorted based on their object type (e.g., strings are alphabetically sorted). You can override the default key comparison methods by providing your own IComparer -implementing object to the SortedList constructor. Many methods are defined to allow you to retrieve values by either key name or index value. The IndexOfKey( ) and IndexOfValue( ) methods return the zero-based index value of the specified key or value. GetByIndex( ) and SetByIndex( ) use the index values for their functionality. public class SortedList : IDictionary, ICollection, IEnumerable, ICloneable { // Public Constructors public SortedList ( ); public SortedList (IComparer comparer ); public SortedList (IComparer comparer , int capacity ); public SortedList (IDictionary d ); public SortedList (IDictionary d , IComparer comparer ); public SortedList (int initialCapacity ); // Public Instance Properties public virtual int Capacity {set; get; } public virtual int Count {get; } // implements ICollection public virtual bool IsFixedSize {get; } // implements IDictionary public virtual bool IsReadOnly {get; } // implements IDictionary public virtual bool IsSynchronized {get; } // implements ICollection public virtual ICollection Keys {get; } // implements IDictionary public virtual object SyncRoot {get; } // implements ICollection public virtual object this [object key ]{set; get; } // implements IDictionary public virtual ICollection Values {get; } // implements IDictionary // Public Static Methods public static SortedList Synchronized (SortedList list ); // Public Instance Methods public virtual void Add (object key , object value ); // implements IDictionary public virtual void Clear ( ); // implements IDictionary public virtual object Clone ( ); // implements ICloneable public virtual bool Contains (object key ); // implements IDictionary public virtual bool ContainsKey (object key ); public virtual bool ContainsValue (object value ); public virtual void CopyTo (Array array , int arrayIndex ); // implements ICollection public virtual object GetByIndex (int index ); public virtual IDictionaryEnumerator GetEnumerator ( ); // implements IDictionary public virtual object GetKey (int index ); public virtual IList GetKeyList ( ); public virtual IList GetValueList ( ); public virtual int IndexOfKey (object key ); public virtual int IndexOfValue (object value ); public virtual void Remove (object key ); // implements IDictionary public virtual void RemoveAt (int index ); public virtual void SetByIndex (int index , object value ); public virtual void TrimToSize ( ); } Returned BySystem.Collections.Specialized.CollectionsUtil.CreateCaseInsensitiveSortedList( ) |
