 virtual void Clear();
public void Clear ();
abstract member Clear : unit -> unit
override this.Clear : unit -> unit
Public Sub Clear ()

Examples

The following example creates and populates a HashSet<T> collection, then clears it and releases the memory referenced by the collection.

HashSet<int> Numbers = new HashSet<int>();

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    Numbers.Add(i);
}

Console.Write("Numbers contains {0} elements: ", Numbers.Count);
DisplaySet(Numbers);

Numbers.Clear();
Numbers.TrimExcess();

Console.Write("Numbers contains {0} elements: ", Numbers.Count);
DisplaySet(Numbers);

void DisplaySet(HashSet<int> set)
{
    Console.Write("{");
    foreach (int i in set)
    {
        Console.Write(" {0}", i);
    }
    Console.WriteLine(" }");
}

/* This example produces output similar to the following:
* Numbers contains 10 elements: { 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 }
* Numbers contains 0 elements: { }
*/
let displaySet (set: HashSet<int>) =
    printf "{"

    for i in set do
        printf $" {i}"

    printfn " }"
// This example produces output similar to the following:
//     Numbers contains 10 elements: { 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 }
//     Numbers contains 0 elements: { }
let numbers = HashSet<int>()

for i = 0 to 9 do
    numbers.Add i |> ignore

printf $"Numbers contains {numbers.Count} elements: "
displaySet numbers

numbers.Clear()
numbers.TrimExcess()

printf $"Numbers contains {numbers.Count} elements: "
displaySet numbers

Class Program

    Shared Sub Main()

        Dim Numbers As HashSet(Of Integer) = New HashSet(Of Integer)()

        For i As Integer = 0 To 9
            Numbers.Add(i)
        Next i

        Console.Write("Numbers contains {0} elements: ", Numbers.Count)
        DisplaySet(Numbers)

        Numbers.Clear()
        Numbers.TrimExcess()

        Console.Write("Numbers contains {0} elements: ", Numbers.Count)
        DisplaySet(Numbers)

    End Sub
    ' This code example produces output similar to the following:
    ' Numbers contains 10 elements: { 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 }
    ' Numbers contains 0 elements: { }

    Private Shared Sub DisplaySet(ByVal coll As HashSet(Of Integer))
        Console.Write("{")
        For Each i As Integer In coll
            Console.Write(" {0}", i)
        Next i
        Console.WriteLine(" }")
    End Sub

End Class

Remarks

Count is set to zero and references to other objects from elements of the collection are also released. The capacity remains unchanged until a call to TrimExcess is made.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
