The following code example implements the CollectionBase class and uses that implementation to create a collection of Int16 objects.

Remarks

Important

We don't recommend that you use the CollectionBase class for new development. Instead, we recommend that you use the generic Collection<T> class. For more information, see Non-generic collections shouldn't be used on GitHub.

A CollectionBase instance is always modifiable. See ReadOnlyCollectionBase for a read-only version of this class.

The capacity of a CollectionBase is the number of elements the CollectionBase can hold. As elements are added to a CollectionBase, the capacity is automatically increased as required through reallocation. The capacity can be decreased by setting the Capacity property explicitly.

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.

Constructors

CollectionBase()	Initializes a new instance of the CollectionBase class with the default initial capacity.
CollectionBase(Int32)	Initializes a new instance of the CollectionBase class with the specified capacity.

Properties

Capacity	Gets or sets the number of elements that the CollectionBase can contain.
Count	Gets the number of elements contained in the CollectionBase instance. This property cannot be overridden.
InnerList	Gets an ArrayList containing the list of elements in the CollectionBase instance.
List	Gets an IList containing the list of elements in the CollectionBase instance.

Methods

Clear()	Removes all objects from the CollectionBase instance. This method cannot be overridden.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetEnumerator()	Returns an enumerator that iterates through the CollectionBase 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 when clearing the contents of the CollectionBase instance.
OnClearComplete()	Performs additional custom processes after clearing the contents of the CollectionBase instance.
OnInsert(Int32, Object)	Performs additional custom processes before inserting a new element into the CollectionBase instance.
OnInsertComplete(Int32, Object)	Performs additional custom processes after inserting a new element into the CollectionBase instance.
OnRemove(Int32, Object)	Performs additional custom processes when removing an element from the CollectionBase instance.
OnRemoveComplete(Int32, Object)	Performs additional custom processes after removing an element from the CollectionBase instance.
OnSet(Int32, Object, Object)	Performs additional custom processes before setting a value in the CollectionBase instance.
OnSetComplete(Int32, Object, Object)	Performs additional custom processes after setting a value in the CollectionBase instance.
OnValidate(Object)	Performs additional custom processes when validating a value.
RemoveAt(Int32)	Removes the element at the specified index of the CollectionBase instance. This method is not overridable.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

ICollection.CopyTo(Array, Int32)	Copies the entire CollectionBase to a compatible one-dimensional Array, starting at the specified index of the target array.
ICollection.IsSynchronized	Gets a value indicating whether access to the CollectionBase is synchronized (thread safe).
ICollection.SyncRoot	Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the CollectionBase.
IList.Add(Object)	Adds an object to the end of the CollectionBase.
IList.Contains(Object)	Determines whether the CollectionBase contains a specific element.
IList.IndexOf(Object)	Searches for the specified Object and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the entire CollectionBase.
IList.Insert(Int32, Object)	Inserts an element into the CollectionBase at the specified index.
IList.IsFixedSize	Gets a value indicating whether the CollectionBase has a fixed size.
IList.IsReadOnly	Gets a value indicating whether the CollectionBase is read-only.
IList.Item[Int32]	Gets or sets the element at the specified index.
IList.Remove(Object)	Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from the CollectionBase.

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 CollectionBase, but derived classes can create their own synchronized versions of the CollectionBase 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.
