Examples

The following code example implements the DictionaryBase class and uses that implementation to create a dictionary of String keys and values that have a Length of 5 characters or less.

Remarks

Important

We don't recommend that you use the DictionaryBase class for new development. Instead, we recommend that you use the generic Dictionary<TKey,TValue> or KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> class . For more information, see Non-generic collections shouldn't be used on GitHub.

The C# foreach statement and the Visual Basic For Each statement return an object of the type of the elements in the collection. Since each element of the DictionaryBase is a key/value pair, the element type is not the type of the key or the type of the value. Instead, the element type is DictionaryEntry.

The foreach statement is a wrapper around the enumerator, which only allows reading from, not writing to, the collection.

Note

Because keys can be inherited and their behavior changed, their absolute uniqueness cannot be guaranteed by comparisons using the Equals method.

Notes to Implementers

This base class is provided to make it easier for implementers to create a strongly typed custom collection. Implementers are encouraged to extend this base class instead of creating their own.

Members of this base class are protected and are intended to be used through a derived class only.

Constructors

DictionaryBase()

Initializes a new instance of the DictionaryBase class.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of elements contained in the DictionaryBase instance.

Dictionary

Gets the list of elements contained in the DictionaryBase instance.

InnerHashtable

Gets the list of elements contained in the DictionaryBase instance.

Methods

Clear()

Clears the contents of the DictionaryBase instance.

CopyTo(Array, Int32)

Copies the DictionaryBase elements to a one-dimensional Array at the specified index.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()

Returns an IDictionaryEnumerator that iterates through the DictionaryBase instance.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
OnClear()

Performs additional custom processes before clearing the contents of the DictionaryBase instance.

OnClearComplete()

Performs additional custom processes after clearing the contents of the DictionaryBase instance.

OnGet(Object, Object)

Gets the element with the specified key and value in the DictionaryBase instance.

OnInsert(Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes before inserting a new element into the DictionaryBase instance.

OnInsertComplete(Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes after inserting a new element into the DictionaryBase instance.

OnRemove(Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes before removing an element from the DictionaryBase instance.

OnRemoveComplete(Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes after removing an element from the DictionaryBase instance.

OnSet(Object, Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes before setting a value in the DictionaryBase instance.

OnSetComplete(Object, Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes after setting a value in the DictionaryBase instance.

OnValidate(Object, Object)

Performs additional custom processes when validating the element with the specified key and value.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

ICollection.IsSynchronized

Gets a value indicating whether access to a DictionaryBase object is synchronized (thread safe).

ICollection.SyncRoot

Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to a DictionaryBase object.

IDictionary.Add(Object, Object)

Adds an element with the specified key and value into the DictionaryBase.

IDictionary.Contains(Object)

Determines whether the DictionaryBase contains a specific key.

IDictionary.IsFixedSize

Gets a value indicating whether a DictionaryBase object has a fixed size.

IDictionary.IsReadOnly

Gets a value indicating whether a DictionaryBase object is read-only.

IDictionary.Item[Object]

Gets or sets the value associated with the specified key.

IDictionary.Keys

Gets an ICollection object containing the keys in the DictionaryBase object.

IDictionary.Remove(Object)

Removes the element with the specified key from the DictionaryBase.

IDictionary.Values

Gets an ICollection object containing the values in the DictionaryBase object.

IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()

Returns an IEnumerator that iterates through the DictionaryBase.

Extension Methods

Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable)

Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.

OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable)

Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.

AsParallel(IEnumerable)

Enables parallelization of a query.

AsQueryable(IEnumerable)

Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.

Applies to

Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

This implementation does not provide a synchronized (thread-safe) wrapper for a DictionaryBase, but derived classes can create their own synchronized versions of the DictionaryBase using the SyncRoot property.

Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. Even when a collection is synchronized, other threads can still modify the collection, which causes the enumerator to throw an exception. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can either lock the collection during the entire enumeration or catch the exceptions resulting from changes made by other threads.
