Wintellect PowerCollections

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Returns a view onto a sub-range of this list. Items are not copied; the returned IList<T> is simply a different view onto the same underlying items. Changes to this list are reflected in the view, and vice versa. Insertions and deletions in the view change the size of the view, but insertions and deletions in the underlying list do not.

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

Syntax

C#
public virtual IList<T> Range( int start, int count )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overridable Function Range ( _ start As Integer, _ count As Integer _ ) As IList(Of T)

Visual C++
public: virtual IList<T>^ Range ( int start, int count )

Parameters

start: Int32
The starting index of the view.

count: Int32
The number of items in the view.

Return Value

A list that is a view onto the given sub-part of this list.

Remarks

This method can be used to apply an algorithm to a portion of a list. For example:

	Copy Code
Algorithms.ReverseInPlace(deque.Range(3, 6))

will reverse the 6 items beginning at index 3.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
System..::ArgumentOutOfRangeException	start or count is negative.
System..::ArgumentOutOfRangeException	start + count is greater than the size of the list.
