Modifies the current HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) object to contain all elements that are present in both itself and in the specified collection.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements in the other parameter.
The following example demonstrates how to merge two disparate sets. This example creates two HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) objects, and populates them with even and odd numbers, respectively. A third HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) object is created from the set that contains the even numbers. The example then calls the UnionWith method, which adds the odd number set to the third set.
