Public Methods

  NameDescription
Public methodAddOverloaded.
Public methodAddMany
Adds multiple key-value pairs to a dictionary. If a key exists in both the current instance and dictionaryToAdd, then the value is updated with the value from keysAndValues> (no exception is thrown). Since IDictionary<TKey,TValue> inherits from IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>>, this method can be used to merge one dictionary into another.
Public methodAsReadOnly
Provides a read-only view of this dictionary. The returned IDictionary<TKey,TValue> provides a view of the dictionary that prevents modifications to the dictionary. Use the method to provide access to the dictionary without allowing changes. Since the returned object is just a view, changes to the dictionary will be reflected in the view.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Public methodClear
Removes all keys and values from the dictionary.
(Overrides DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>..::Clear()().)
Public methodClone
Makes a shallow clone of this dictionary; i.e., if keys or values of the dictionary are reference types, then they are not cloned. If TKey or TValue is a value type, then each element is copied as if by simple assignment.
Public methodCloneContents
Makes a deep clone of this dictionary. A new dictionary is created with a clone of each entry of this dictionary, by calling ICloneable.Clone on each element. If TKey or TValue is a value type, then each element is copied as if by simple assignment.
Public methodContains
Determines if a dictionary contains a given KeyValuePair. This implementation checks to see if the dictionary contains the given key, and if the value associated with the key is equal to (via object.Equals) the value.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Public methodContainsKey
Determines if this dictionary contains a key equal to key. The dictionary is not changed.
(Overrides DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>..::ContainsKey(TKey).)
Public methodConvertAll<(Of <TOutput>)>
Convert this collection of items by applying a delegate to each item in the collection. The resulting enumeration contains the result of applying converter to each item in this collection, in order.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodCopyTo
Copies all the items in the collection into an array. Implemented by using the enumerator returned from GetEnumerator to get all the items and copy them to the provided array.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodCountWhere
Counts the number of items in the collection that satisfy the condition defined by predicate.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodExists
Determines if the collection contains any item that satisfies the condition defined by predicate.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodFindAll
Enumerates the items in the collection that satisfy the condition defined by predicate.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodForEach
Performs the specified action on each item in this collection.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodGetEnumerator
Returns an enumerator that enumerates all the entries in the dictionary. Each entry is returned as a KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>. The entries are enumerated in the sorted order of the keys.
(Overrides CollectionBase<(Of <KeyValuePair<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>>)>..::GetEnumerator()().)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode()() is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetValueElseAdd
Finds a key in the dictionary. If the dictionary already contains a key equal to the passed key, then the existing value is returned via value. If the dictionary doesn't contain that key, then value is associated with that key.
Public methodRange
Returns a collection that can be used for enumerating some of the keys and values in the collection. Only keys that are greater than from and less than to are included. The keys are enumerated in sorted order. Keys equal to the end points of the range can be included or excluded depending on the fromInclusive and toInclusive parameters.
Public methodRangeFrom
Returns a collection that can be used for enumerating some of the keys and values in the collection. Only keys that are greater than (and optionally, equal to) from are included. The keys are enumerated in sorted order. Keys equal to from can be included or excluded depending on the fromInclusive parameter.
Public methodRangeTo
Returns a collection that can be used for enumerating some of the keys and values in the collection. Only items that are less than (and optionally, equal to) to are included. The items are enumerated in sorted order. Items equal to to can be included or excluded depending on the toInclusive parameter.
Public methodRemove
Removes a key from the dictionary. This method must be overridden in the derived class.
Public methodRemoveAll
Removes all the items in the collection that satisfy the condition defined by predicate.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodRemoveMany
Removes all the keys found in another collection (such as an array or List<TKey>). Each key in keyCollectionToRemove is removed from the dictionary. Keys that are not present are ignored.
Public methodReplace
Changes the value associated with a given key. If the dictionary does not contain a key equal to the passed key, then an ArgumentException is thrown.
Public methodReversed
Returns a View collection that can be used for enumerating the keys and values in the collection in reversed order.
Public methodToArray
Creates an array of the correct size, and copies all the items in the collection into the array, by calling CopyTo.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodToString
Shows the string representation of the dictionary. The string representation contains a list of the mappings in the dictionary.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Public methodTrueForAll
Determines if all of the items in the collection satisfy the condition defined by predicate.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Public methodTryGetValue
Determines if this dictionary contains a key equal to key. If so, the value associated with that key is returned through the value parameter.
(Overrides DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>..::TryGetValue(TKey, TValue%).)

Protected Methods

  NameDescription
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)

Public Properties

  NameDescription
Public propertyComparer
Returns the IComparer<T> used to compare keys in this dictionary.
Public propertyCount
Returns the number of keys in the dictionary.
(Overrides CollectionBase<(Of <KeyValuePair<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>>)>..::Count.)
Public propertyItem
Gets or sets the value associated with a given key. When getting a value, if this key is not found in the collection, then an ArgumentException is thrown. When setting a value, the value replaces any existing value in the dictionary.
(Overrides DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>..::Item[([TKey])].)
Public propertyKeys
Returns a collection of the keys in this dictionary.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

  NameDescription
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate propertyICollection<(Of <T>)>..::IsReadOnly (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate methodICollection..::CopyTo

(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate propertyICollection..::IsSynchronized
Indicates whether the collection is synchronized.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate propertyICollection..::SyncRoot
Indicates the synchronization object for this collection.
(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate methodIDictionary..::Add
Adds a key-value pair to the collection. If key or value are not of the expected types, an ArgumentException is thrown. If both key and value are of the expected types, the (overridden) Add method is called with the key and value to add.

(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate methodIDictionary..::GetEnumerator
Returns an enumerator that enumerates all the entries in the dictionary. Each entry is returned as a DictionaryEntry. The entries are enumerated in the same orders as the (overridden) GetEnumerator method.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate propertyIDictionary..::IsFixedSize
Returns whether this dictionary is fixed size. This implemented always returns false.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)

(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate propertyIDictionary..::Keys
Returns a collection of all the keys in the dictionary. The values in this collection will be enumerated in the same order as the (overridden) GetEnumerator method.
(Inherited from DictionaryBase<(Of <TKey, TValue>)>.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate methodIDictionary..::Remove
Removes the key (and associated value) from the collection that is equal to the passed in key. If no key in the dictionary is equal to the passed key, the dictionary is unchanged.
