KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> Class

Definition

Provides the abstract base class for a collection whose keys are embedded in the values.

Examples

This section contains two code examples. The first example shows the minimum code required to derive from KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>, and demonstrates many of the inherited methods. The second example shows how to override the protected methods of KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> to provide custom behavior.

Example 1

This code example shows the minimum code necessary to derive a collection class from KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>: overriding the GetKeyForItem method and providing a public constructor that delegates to a base class constructor. The code example also demonstrates many of the properties and methods inherited from KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> and Collection<T> classes.

The SimpleOrder class is a very simple requisition list that contains OrderItem objects, each of which represents a line item in the order. The key of OrderItem is immutable, an important consideration for classes that derive from KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>. For a code example that uses mutable keys, see ChangeItemKey.

C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

// This class represents a very simple keyed list of OrderItems,
// inheriting most of its behavior from the KeyedCollection and
// Collection classes. The immediate base class is the constructed
// type KeyedCollection<int, OrderItem>. When you inherit
// from KeyedCollection, the second generic type argument is the
// type that you want to store in the collection -- in this case
// OrderItem. The first type argument is the type that you want
// to use as a key. Its values must be calculated from OrderItem;
// in this case it is the int field PartNumber, so SimpleOrder
// inherits KeyedCollection<int, OrderItem>.
//
public class SimpleOrder : KeyedCollection<int, OrderItem>
{

    // This is the only method that absolutely must be overridden,
    // because without it the KeyedCollection cannot extract the
    // keys from the items. The input parameter type is the
    // second generic type argument, in this case OrderItem, and
    // the return value type is the first generic type argument,
    // in this case int.
    //
    protected override int GetKeyForItem(OrderItem item)
    {
        // In this example, the key is the part number.
        return item.PartNumber;
    }
}

Example 2

The following code example shows how to override the protected InsertItem, RemoveItem, ClearItems, and SetItem methods, to provide custom behavior for the Add, Remove, and Clear methods, and for setting the default Item[] property (the indexer in C#). The custom behavior provided in this example is a notification event named Changed, which is raised at the end of each of the overridden methods.

The code example creates the SimpleOrder class, which derives from KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> and represents a simple order form. The order form contains OrderItem objects representing items ordered. The code example also creates a SimpleOrderChangedEventArgs class to contain the event information, and an enumeration to identify the type of change.

The code example demonstrates the custom behavior by calling the properties and methods of the derived class, in the Main method of the Demo class.

This code example uses objects with immutable keys. For a code example that uses mutable keys, see ChangeItemKey.

// protected methods.
//
// SimpleOrder is a collection of OrderItem objects, and its key
// is the PartNumber field of OrderItem. PartNumber is an Integer,
// so SimpleOrder inherits KeyedCollection<int, OrderItem>.

Remarks

The KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> class provides both O(1) indexed retrieval and keyed retrieval that approaches O(1). It is an abstract type, or more accurately an infinite set of abstract types, because each of its constructed generic types is an abstract base class. To use KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>, derive your collection type from the appropriate constructed type.

The KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> class is a hybrid between a collection based on the IList<T> generic interface and a collection based on the IDictionary<TKey,TValue> generic interface. Like collections based on the IList<T> generic interface, KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> is an indexed list of items. Like collections based on the IDictionary<TKey,TValue> generic interface, KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> has a key associated with each element.

Unlike dictionaries, an element of KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> is not a key/value pair; instead, the entire element is the value and the key is embedded within the value. For example, an element of a collection derived from KeyedCollection\<String,String> (KeyedCollection(Of String, String) in Visual Basic) might be "John Doe Jr." where the value is "John Doe Jr." and the key is "Doe"; or a collection of employee records containing integer keys could be derived from KeyedCollection\<int,Employee>. The abstract GetKeyForItem method extracts the key from the element.

By default, the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> includes a lookup dictionary that you can obtain with the Dictionary property. When an item is added to the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>, the item's key is extracted once and saved in the lookup dictionary for faster searches. This behavior is overridden by specifying a dictionary creation threshold when you create the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>. The lookup dictionary is created the first time the number of elements exceeds that threshold. If you specify -1 as the threshold, the lookup dictionary is never created.

Note

When the internal lookup dictionary is used, it contains references to all the items in the collection if TItem is a reference type, or copies of all the items in the collection if TItem is a value type. Thus, using the lookup dictionary may not be appropriate if TItem is a value type.

You can access an item by its index or key by using the Item[] property. You can add items without a key, but these items can subsequently be accessed only by index.
