SortedList::Clear Method ()
.NET Framework (current version)
Removes all elements from a SortedList object.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Count is set to zero and references to other objects from elements of the collection are also released.
Capacity remains unchanged. To reset the capacity of the SortedList object, call TrimToSize or set the Capacity property directly. Trimming an empty SortedList sets the capacity of the SortedList to the default capacity.
This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
The following code example shows how to trim the unused portions of a SortedList object and how to clear the values of the SortedList.
#using <system.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections; void PrintKeysAndValues( SortedList^ myList ) { Console::WriteLine( "\t-KEY-\t-VALUE-" ); for ( int i = 0; i < myList->Count; i++ ) { Console::WriteLine( "\t{0}:\t{1}", myList->GetKey( i ), myList->GetByIndex( i ) ); } Console::WriteLine(); } int main() { // Creates and initializes a new SortedList. SortedList^ mySL = gcnew SortedList; mySL->Add( "one", "The" ); mySL->Add( "two", "quick" ); mySL->Add( "three", "brown" ); mySL->Add( "four", "fox" ); mySL->Add( "five", "jumped" ); // Displays the count, capacity and values of the SortedList. Console::WriteLine( "Initially," ); Console::WriteLine( " Count : {0}", mySL->Count ); Console::WriteLine( " Capacity : {0}", mySL->Capacity ); Console::WriteLine( " Values:" ); PrintKeysAndValues( mySL ); // Trims the SortedList. mySL->TrimToSize(); // Displays the count, capacity and values of the SortedList. Console::WriteLine( "After TrimToSize," ); Console::WriteLine( " Count : {0}", mySL->Count ); Console::WriteLine( " Capacity : {0}", mySL->Capacity ); Console::WriteLine( " Values:" ); PrintKeysAndValues( mySL ); // Clears the SortedList. mySL->Clear(); // Displays the count, capacity and values of the SortedList. Console::WriteLine( "After Clear," ); Console::WriteLine( " Count : {0}", mySL->Count ); Console::WriteLine( " Capacity : {0}", mySL->Capacity ); Console::WriteLine( " Values:" ); PrintKeysAndValues( mySL ); // Trims the SortedList again. mySL->TrimToSize(); // Displays the count, capacity and values of the SortedList. Console::WriteLine( "After the second TrimToSize," ); Console::WriteLine( " Count : {0}", mySL->Count ); Console::WriteLine( " Capacity : {0}", mySL->Capacity ); Console::WriteLine( " Values:" ); PrintKeysAndValues( mySL ); } /* This code produces the following output. Initially, Count : 5 Capacity : 16 Values: -KEY- -VALUE- five: jumped four: fox one: The three: brown two: quick After TrimToSize, Count : 5 Capacity : 5 Values: -KEY- -VALUE- five: jumped four: fox one: The three: brown two: quick After Clear, Count : 0 Capacity : 16 Values: -KEY- -VALUE- After the second TrimToSize, Count : 0 Capacity : 16 Values: -KEY- -VALUE- */
