Assemblies:

netstandard.dll, System.ComponentModel.Primitives.dll

Source:

ComponentCollection.cs

Initializes a new instance of the ComponentCollection class using the specified array of components.

C#

public ComponentCollection(System.ComponentModel.IComponent[] components);

Parameters

components

IComponent[]

An array of IComponent objects to initialize the collection with.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a ComponentCollection from an array of BookComponent objects.

C#

//This code segment implements the IContainer interface.  The code segment 
//containing the implementation of ISite and IComponent can be found in the documentation
//for those interfaces.

//Implement the LibraryContainer using the IContainer interface.

class LibraryContainer : IContainer
{
    private ArrayList m_bookList;

    public LibraryContainer()
    {
        m_bookList = new ArrayList();
    }

    public virtual void Add(IComponent book)
    {
        //The book will be added without creation of the ISite object.
        m_bookList.Add(book);
    }

    public virtual void Add(IComponent book, string ISNDNNum)
    {
        for(int i =0; i < m_bookList.Count; ++i)
        {
            IComponent curObj = (IComponent)m_bookList[i];
            if(curObj.Site != null)
            {
                if(curObj.Site.Name.Equals(ISNDNNum))
                    throw new ArgumentException("The ISBN number already exists in the container"); 
            }
        }

        ISBNSite data = new ISBNSite(this, book);
        data.Name = ISNDNNum;
        book.Site = data;
        m_bookList.Add(book);
    }

    public virtual void Remove(IComponent book)
    {
        for(int i =0; i < m_bookList.Count; ++i)
        {				
            if(book.Equals(m_bookList[i]))
            {
                m_bookList.RemoveAt(i);
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

    public ComponentCollection Components
    {
        get
        {
            IComponent[] datalist = new BookComponent[m_bookList.Count];
            m_bookList.CopyTo(datalist);
            return new ComponentCollection(datalist);
        }
    }

    public virtual void Dispose()
    {	
        for(int i =0; i < m_bookList.Count; ++i)
        {
            IComponent curObj = (IComponent)m_bookList[i];
            curObj.Dispose();
        }
        
        m_bookList.Clear();
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        LibraryContainer cntrExmpl = new LibraryContainer();

        try 
        {
            BookComponent book1 = new BookComponent("Wizard's First Rule", "Terry Gooodkind");
            cntrExmpl.Add(book1, "0812548051");
            BookComponent book2 = new BookComponent("Stone of Tears", "Terry Gooodkind");
            cntrExmpl.Add(book2, "0812548094");
            BookComponent book3 = new BookComponent("Blood of the Fold", "Terry Gooodkind");
            cntrExmpl.Add(book3, "0812551478");
            BookComponent book4 = new BookComponent("The Soul of the Fire", "Terry Gooodkind");
            //This will generate exception because the ISBN already exists in the container.
            cntrExmpl.Add(book4, "0812551478");
        }
        catch (ArgumentException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to add books: " + e.Message);
        }

        ComponentCollection datalist =cntrExmpl.Components;
        IEnumerator denum = datalist.GetEnumerator();

        while(denum.MoveNext())
        {
            BookComponent cmp = (BookComponent)denum.Current;
            Console.WriteLine("Book Title: " + cmp.Title);
            Console.WriteLine("Book Author: " + cmp.Author);
            Console.WriteLine("Book ISBN: " + cmp.Site.Name);
        }
    }
}
