Collection<T>.SetItem(Int32, T) Method

Replaces the element at the specified index.
protected:
virtual void SetItem(int index, T item);
protected virtual void SetItem (int index, T item);
abstract member SetItem : int * 'T -> unit
override this.SetItem : int * 'T -> unit
Protected Overridable Sub SetItem (index As Integer, item As T)
- index
- Int32
The zero-based index of the element to replace.
- item
- T
The new value for the element at the specified index. The value can be null
for reference types.
The following code example shows how to derive a collection class from a constructed type of the Collection<T> generic class, and how to override the protected InsertItem, RemoveItem, ClearItems, and SetItem methods to provide custom behavior for the Add, Insert, Remove, and Clear methods, and for setting the Item[] property.
The custom behavior provided by this example is a Changed
notification event that is raised at the end of each of the protected methods. The Dinosaurs
class inherits Collection<string>
(Collection(Of String)
in Visual Basic) and defines the Changed
event, which uses a DinosaursChangedEventArgs
class for the event information, and an enumeration to identify the kind of change.
The code example calls several properties and methods of Collection<T> to demonstrate the custom event.
