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.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
using namespace System::Collections::ObjectModel;

// This class represents a simple line item in an order. All the 
// values are immutable except quantity.
// 
public ref class OrderItem
{
private:
    int _quantity;
    
public:
    initonly int PartNumber;
    initonly String^ Description;
    initonly double UnitPrice;
    
    OrderItem(int partNumber, String^ description, 
        int quantity, double unitPrice)
    {
        this->PartNumber = partNumber;
        this->Description = description;
        this->Quantity = quantity;
        this->UnitPrice = unitPrice;
    } 
    
    property int Quantity    
    {
        int get() { return _quantity; }
        void set(int value)
        {
            if (value < 0)
                throw gcnew ArgumentException("Quantity cannot be negative.");
            
            _quantity = value;
        }
    }
        
    virtual String^ ToString() override 
    {
        return String::Format(
            "{0,9} {1,6} {2,-12} at {3,8:#,###.00} = {4,10:###,###.00}", 
            PartNumber, _quantity, Description, UnitPrice, 
            UnitPrice * _quantity);
    }
};

    // KeyedCollection with an internal dictionary. For this code 
    // example, no other constructors are exposed.
    //

    // 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,

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.

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.

Constructors

KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>()	Initializes a new instance of the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> class that uses the default equality comparer.
KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>(IEqualityComparer<TKey>, Int32)	Initializes a new instance of the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> class that uses the specified equality comparer and creates a lookup dictionary when the specified threshold is exceeded.
KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>(IEqualityComparer<TKey>)	Initializes a new instance of the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem> class that uses the specified equality comparer.

Properties

Comparer	Gets the generic equality comparer that is used to determine equality of keys in the collection.
Count	Gets the number of elements actually contained in the Collection<T>. (Inherited from Collection<T>)
Dictionary	Gets the lookup dictionary of the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>.
Item[Int32]	Gets or sets the element at the specified index. (Inherited from Collection<T>)
Item[TKey]	Gets the element with the specified key.
Items	Gets a IList<T> wrapper around the Collection<T>. (Inherited from Collection<T>)

Methods

Add(T)	Adds an object to the end of the Collection<T>. (Inherited from Collection<T>)
ChangeItemKey(TItem, TKey)	Changes the key associated with the specified element in the lookup dictionary.
Clear()	Removes all elements from the Collection<T>. (Inherited from Collection<T>)
ClearItems()	Removes all elements from the KeyedCollection<TKey,TItem>.
Contains(TKey)	Determines whether the collection contains an element with the specified key.
