HashSet<T>.Add Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Adds the specified element to a set.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Add ( _
    item As T _
) As Boolean

public bool Add(
    T item
)

Parameters

  • item
    Type: T
    The element to add to the set.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the element is added to the HashSet<T> object; false if the element is already present.

Implements

ISet<T>.Add(T)

Remarks

If Count already equals the capacity of the HashSet<T> object, the capacity is automatically adjusted to accommodate the new item.

If Count is less than the capacity of the internal array, this method is an O(1) operation. If the HashSet<T> object must be resized, this method becomes an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
