CollectionBase Constructors

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the CollectionBase class.

Overloads

CollectionBase()

Initializes a new instance of the CollectionBase class with the default initial capacity.

CollectionBase(Int32)

Initializes a new instance of the CollectionBase class with the specified capacity.

CollectionBase()

Initializes a new instance of the CollectionBase class with the default initial capacity.

protected:
 CollectionBase();
protected CollectionBase ();
Protected Sub New ()

Remarks

The capacity of a CollectionBase is the number of elements that the CollectionBase can hold. As elements are added to a CollectionBase, the capacity is automatically increased as required by reallocating the internal array.

If the size of the collection can be estimated, specifying the initial capacity eliminates the need to perform a number of resizing operations while adding elements to the CollectionBase.

This constructor is an O(1) operation.
