Syntax

C#
[SerializableAttribute] public class BigList<T>

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<SerializableAttribute> _ Public Class BigList(Of T)

Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute] generic<typename T> public ref class BigList

Type Parameters

T

The type exposes the following methods.

Public Methods

	Name	Description
	Add	Adds an item to the end of the BigList. The indices of all existing items in the Deque are unchanged. (Overrides ListBase<(Of <T>)>..::Add(T).)
	Addition	Concatenates two lists together to create a new list. Both lists being concatenated are unchanged. The resulting list contains all the items in first, followed by all the items in second.
	AddRange	Overloaded.
	AddRangeToFront	Overloaded.
	AddToFront	Adds an item to the beginning of the BigList. The indices of all existing items in the Deque are increased by one, and the new item has index zero.
	AsReadOnly	Provides a read-only view of this list. The returned IList<T> provides a view of the list that prevents modifications to the list. Use the method to provide access to the list without allowing changes. Since the returned object is just a view, changes to the list will be reflected in the view. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	BinarySearch	Overloaded.
	Clear	Removes all of the items from the BigList. (Overrides ListBase<(Of <T>)>..::Clear()().)
	Clone	Creates a new BigList that is a copy of this list.
	CloneContents	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.
	Contains	Determines if the list contains any item that compares equal to item. The implementation simply checks whether IndexOf(item) returns a non-negative value. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	ConvertAll<(Of <TDest>)>	Convert the list to a new list by applying a delegate to each item in the collection. The resulting list contains the result of applying converter to each item in the list, in order. The current list is unchanged.
	CopyTo	Overloaded.
	CountWhere	Counts the number of items in the collection that satisfy the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Exists	Determines if the collection contains any item that satisfies the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	Find	Finds the first item in the list that satisfies the condition defined by predicate. If no item matches the condition, than the default value for T (null or all-zero) is returned. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	FindAll	Enumerates the items in the collection that satisfy the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	FindIndex	Overloaded.
	FindLast	Finds the last item in the list that satisfies the condition defined by predicate. If no item matches the condition, than the default value for T (null or all-zero) is returned. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	FindLastIndex	Overloaded.
	ForEach	Performs the specified action on each item in this collection. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	GetEnumerator	Enumerates all of the items in the list, in order. The item at index 0 is enumerated first, then the item at index 1, and so on. Usually, the foreach statement is used to call this method implicitly. (Overrides ListBase<(Of <T>)>..::GetEnumerator()().)
	GetHashCode	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.)
	GetRange	Creates a new list that contains a subrange of elements from this list. The current list is unchanged.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IndexOf	Overloaded.
	Insert	Inserts a new item at the given index in the BigList. All items at indexes equal to or greater than index move up one index. (Overrides ListBase<(Of <T>)>..::Insert(Int32, T).)
	InsertRange	Overloaded.
	LastIndexOf	Overloaded.
	Print	Prints out the internal structure of the tree, for debugging purposes.
	Range	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. (Overrides ListBase<(Of <T>)>..::Range(Int32, Int32).)
	Remove	Searches the list for the first item that compares equal to item. If one is found, it is removed. Otherwise, the list is unchanged. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	RemoveAll	Removes all the items in the collection that satisfy the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	RemoveAt	Removes the item at the given index in the BigList. All items at indexes greater than index move down one index. (Overrides ListBase<(Of <T>)>..::RemoveAt(Int32).)
	RemoveRange	Removes a range of items at the given index in the Deque. All items at indexes greater than index move down count indices in the Deque.
	Reverse	Overloaded.
	Sort	Overloaded.
	ToArray	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>)>.)
	ToString	Shows the string representation of the collection. The string representation contains a list of the items in the collection. Contained collections (except string) are expanded recursively. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	TrueForAll	Determines if all of the items in the collection satisfy the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	TryFind	Finds the first item in the list that satisfies the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	TryFindLast	Finds the last item in the list that satisfies the condition defined by predicate. (Inherited from ListBase<(Of <T>)>.)
	Validate	Attempts to validate the internal consistency of the tree.

Protected Methods

	Name	Description
	Finalize	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

Name

Description

ICollection..::CopyTo

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>)>.)

IEnumerable..::GetEnumerator

Provides an IEnumerator that can be used to iterate all the members of the collection. This implementation uses the IEnumerator<T> that was overridden by the derived classes to enumerate the members of the collection.

(Inherited from CollectionBase<(Of <T>)>.)

IList..::Add

Adds an item to the end of the list. This method is equivalent to calling:
