[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
Determines if one collection is a proper subset of another, considered as sets. The first set is a proper subset
of the second set if every item in the first set also occurs in the second set, and the first set is strictly smaller than
the second set. If an item appears X times in the first set,
it must appear at least X times in the second set.

Syntax
| C# |
|---|
public static bool IsProperSubsetOf<T>( IEnumerable<T> collection1, IEnumerable<T> collection2, IEqualityComparer<T> equalityComparer ) |
| Visual Basic (Declaration) |
|---|
Public Shared Function IsProperSubsetOf(Of T) ( _ collection1 As IEnumerable(Of T), _ collection2 As IEnumerable(Of T), _ equalityComparer As IEqualityComparer(Of T) _ ) As Boolean |
| Visual C++ |
|---|
public: generic<typename T> static bool IsProperSubsetOf ( IEnumerable<T>^ collection1, IEnumerable<T>^ collection2, IEqualityComparer<T>^ equalityComparer ) |
Parameters
- collection1
- IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The first collection.
- collection2
- IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The second collection.
- equalityComparer
- IEqualityComparer<(Of <T>)>
The IEqualityComparer<T> used to compare items for equality. Only the Equals and GetHashCode member functions of this interface are called.
Return Value
True if collection1 is a proper subset of collection2, considered as sets.Type Parameters
- T
Remarks
If both collections are Set, Bag, OrderedSet, or OrderedBag collections, it is more efficient to use the IsSubsetOf method on that class.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| System..::ArgumentNullException | collection1 or collection2 is null. |
