ReadOnlyCollectionBase::InnerList Property
Visual Studio 2010
Gets the list of elements contained in the ReadOnlyCollectionBase instance.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Collections::ArrayListAn ArrayList representing the ReadOnlyCollectionBase instance itself.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
Notes to ImplementersThis class makes the underlying collection available through the InnerList property, which is intended for use only by classes that are derived directly from ReadOnlyCollectionBase. The derived class must ensure that its own users cannot modify the underlying collection.
The following code example implements the ReadOnlyCollectionBase class.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections; public ref class ROCollection: public ReadOnlyCollectionBase { public: ROCollection( IList^ sourceList ) { InnerList->AddRange( sourceList ); } property Object^ Item [int] { Object^ get( int index ) { return (InnerList[ index ]); } } int IndexOf( Object^ value ) { return (InnerList->IndexOf( value )); } bool Contains( Object^ value ) { return (InnerList->Contains( value )); } }; void PrintIndexAndValues( ROCollection^ myCol ); void PrintValues2( ROCollection^ myCol ); int main() { // Create an ArrayList. ArrayList^ myAL = gcnew ArrayList; myAL->Add( "red" ); myAL->Add( "blue" ); myAL->Add( "yellow" ); myAL->Add( "green" ); myAL->Add( "orange" ); myAL->Add( "purple" ); // Create a new ROCollection that contains the elements in myAL. ROCollection^ myCol = gcnew ROCollection( myAL ); // Display the contents of the collection using the enumerator. Console::WriteLine( "Contents of the collection (using enumerator):" ); PrintValues2( myCol ); // Display the contents of the collection using the Count property and the Item property. Console::WriteLine( "Contents of the collection (using Count and Item):" ); PrintIndexAndValues( myCol ); // Search the collection with Contains and IndexOf. Console::WriteLine( "Contains yellow: {0}", myCol->Contains( "yellow" ) ); Console::WriteLine( "orange is at index {0}.", myCol->IndexOf( "orange" ) ); Console::WriteLine(); } // Uses the Count property and the Item property. void PrintIndexAndValues( ROCollection^ myCol ) { for ( int i = 0; i < myCol->Count; i++ ) Console::WriteLine( " [{0}]: {1}", i, myCol->Item[ i ] ); Console::WriteLine(); } // Uses the enumerator. void PrintValues2( ROCollection^ myCol ) { System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnumerator = myCol->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnumerator->MoveNext() ) Console::WriteLine( " {0}", myEnumerator->Current ); Console::WriteLine(); } /* This code produces the following output. Contents of the collection (using enumerator): red blue yellow green orange purple Contents of the collection (using Count and Item): [0]: red [1]: blue [2]: yellow [3]: green [4]: orange [5]: purple Contains yellow: True orange is at index 4. */
