[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Represents a set of values.

Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
<SerializableAttribute> _
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort := True)> _
Public Class HashSet(Of T) _
    Implements ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback, ISet(Of T),  _
    ICollection(Of T), IEnumerable(Of T), IEnumerable
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As HashSet(Of T)
C#
[SerializableAttribute]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)]
public class HashSet<T> : ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback, 
    ISet<T>, ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, IEnumerable
Visual C++
[SerializableAttribute]
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)]
generic<typename T>
public ref class HashSet : ISerializable, 
    IDeserializationCallback, ISet<T>, ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, IEnumerable
F#
[<SerializableAttribute>]
[<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)>]
type HashSet<'T> =  
    class
        interface ISerializable
        interface IDeserializationCallback
        interface ISet<'T>
        interface ICollection<'T>
        interface IEnumerable<'T>
        interface IEnumerable
    end

Type Parameters

T

The type of elements in the hast set.

Remarks

NoteNote

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

The HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) class provides high performance set operations. A set is a collection that contains no duplicate elements, and whose elements are in no particular order.

The capacity of a HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) object is the number of elements that the object can hold. A HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) object's capacity automatically increases as elements are added to the object.

Starting with the .NET Framework version 4 Beta 2,the HashSet<(Of <(T>)>) class implements the ISet<(Of <(T>)>) class.
