Property Value
Type: System.Booleantrue if the ICollection<'T> is read-only; otherwise, false. In the default implementation of Collection<'T>, this property always returns false.
Implements
ICollection<'T>.IsReadOnlyA collection that is read-only does not allow the addition, removal, or modification of elements after the collection is created.
A collection that is read-only is simply a collection with a wrapper that prevents modifying the collection; therefore, if changes are made to the underlying collection, the read-only collection reflects those changes.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
