Definition

Namespace:

Foundation

Xamarin.iOS.dll

An unordered collection of distinct items.

[Foundation.Register("NSSet", true)]
public class NSSet : Foundation.NSObject, Foundation.INSMutableCopying, Foundation.INSSecureCoding, IDisposable, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Foundation.NSObject>

    inherit NSObject
    interface INSCoding

Remarks

The following example shows how to create a set

// Create the set out of four objects
var myColors = new NSSet (UIColor.Red, UIColor.Blue, UIColor.Yellow, UIColor.Red);

// The resulting array will only contain Red, Blue and Yellow
UIColor [] asArray = myColors.ToArray<UIColor> ();

Constructors

NSSet()	Default constructor that initializes a new instance of this class with no parameters.
NSSet(IntPtr)	A constructor used when creating managed representations of unmanaged objects; Called by the runtime.
NSSet(NSArray)	Creates a set from an NSArray of objects.
NSSet(NSCoder)	A constructor that initializes the object from the data stored in the unarchiver object.
NSSet(NSObject[])
NSSet(NSObjectFlag)	Constructor to call on derived classes to skip initialization and merely allocate the object.
NSSet(NSSet)
NSSet(Object[])
NSSet(String[])	Creates a set from an array of strings.
