- collection
- Type:
System.Collections.GenericIEnumerable
T
The collection whose elements should be added to the end of the ListT. The collection itself cannot be , but it can contain elements that are , if type T is a reference type.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | collection is . |
The order of the elements in the collection is preserved in the ListT.
If the new Count (the current Count plus the size of the collection) will be greater than Capacity, the capacity of the ListT is increased by automatically reallocating the internal array to accommodate the new elements, and the existing elements are copied to the new array before the new elements are added.
If the ListT can accommodate the new elements without increasing the Capacity, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements to be added. If the capacity needs to be increased to accommodate the new elements, this method becomes an O(n + m) operation, where n is the number of elements to be added and m is Count.
The following code example demonstrates the AddRange method and various other methods of the ListT class that act on ranges. An array of strings is created and passed to the constructor, populating the list with the elements of the array. The AddRange method is called, with the list as its argument. The result is that the current elements of the list are added to the end of the list, duplicating all the elements.
