   Get

      Dim valueArray() As Object = New Object(ItemsInUse - 1) {}
      Dim n As Integer
      For n = 0 To ItemsInUse - 1
         valueArray(n) = items(n).Value
      Next n

      Return valueArray
   End Get
End Property
public ICollection Values
{
   get
   {
      // Return an array where each item is a value.
      Object[] values = new Object[ItemsInUse];
      for (Int32 n = 0; n < ItemsInUse; n++)
