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

MultiDictionaryBase is a base class that can be used to more easily implement a class that associates multiple values to a single key. The class implements the generic IDictionary<TKey, ICollection<TValue>> interface. The resulting collection is read-only -- items cannot be added or removed.

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

Syntax

C#
[SerializableAttribute] public abstract class ReadOnlyMultiDictionaryBase<TKey, TValue> : ReadOnlyCollectionBase<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>>, IDictionary<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>, ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>>, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>>, IEnumerable

[SerializableAttribute]
public abstract class ReadOnlyMultiDictionaryBase<TKey, TValue> : ReadOnlyCollectionBase<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>>, IDictionary<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>, 
	ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>>, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>>>, 
	IEnumerable

Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute] generic<typename TKey, typename TValue> public ref class ReadOnlyMultiDictionaryBase abstract : public ReadOnlyCollectionBase<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>>, IDictionary<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>, ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>>, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>>, IEnumerable

Visual C++

[SerializableAttribute]
generic<typename TKey, typename TValue>
public ref class ReadOnlyMultiDictionaryBase abstract : public ReadOnlyCollectionBase<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>>, 
	IDictionary<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>, ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>>, 
	IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, ICollection<TValue>^>>, IEnumerable

Type Parameters

TKey: The key type of the dictionary.
TValue: The value type of the dictionary.

Remarks

To use ReadOnlyMultiDictionaryBase as a base class, the derived class must override Count, Contains(TKey,TValue), EnumerateKeys, and TryEnumerateValuesForKey .
