Makes a deep clone of this BigList. A new BigList is created with a clone of each element of this set, by calling ICloneable.Clone on each element. If T is a value type, then this method is the same as Clone.

Namespace: Wintellect.PowerCollections
Assembly: PowerCollections (in PowerCollections.dll)

Syntax

C#
public BigList<T> CloneContents()

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function CloneContents As BigList(Of T)

Visual C++
public: BigList<T>^ CloneContents ()

Return Value

The cloned set.

Remarks

If T is a reference type, it must implement ICloneable. Otherwise, an InvalidOperationException is thrown.

If T is a reference type, cloning the list takes time approximate O(N), where N is the number of items in the list.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
System..::InvalidOperationException	T is a reference type that does not implement ICloneable.
