Examples

This example shows how to create an immutable list and iterate over elements in it:

// Create an immutable list of strings
ImmutableList<string> colors = ImmutableList.Create("Red", "Green", "Blue");

// Iterate over all items in the list and print them
foreach (string s in colors)
{
    Console.WriteLine(s);
}

/* Example output:
 Red
 Green
 Blue
 */

This example shows how to create a new immutable list by adding and removing items from the original list:

// Create an immutable list of strings
ImmutableList<string> colors = ImmutableList.Create("Red", "Green", "Blue");

// Create a new immutable list by adding and removing items from the original list
ImmutableList<string> colorsModified = colors.RemoveAt(1).Add("Orange");

foreach (string s in colorsModified)
{
    Console.WriteLine(s);
}

/* Example output:
 Red
 Blue
 Orange
 */

Remarks

ImmutableList<T> has no public constructor; you begin by retrieving an empty ImmutableList<T> by using the ImmutableList<T>.Empty. You can then call methods, such as Add and AddRange, to populate the collection. Note that these methods return a new object. When you add or remove items from an immutable list, a copy of the original list is made with the items added or removed, and the original list is unchanged.
