![]() | AsParallel() | Overloaded. Enables parallelization of a query.(Defined by ParallelEnumerable.) |
![]() | AsQueryable() | Overloaded. Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.(Defined by Queryable.) |
![]() | Cast(Of TResult)() | Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.(Defined by Enumerable.) |
![]() | OfType(Of TResult)() | Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.(Defined by Enumerable.) |
The underlying structure for this class is a hash table.
Each element is a key/value pair.
The capacity of a NameObjectCollectionBase is the number of elements the NameObjectCollectionBase can hold. As elements are added to a NameObjectCollectionBase, the capacity is automatically increased as required through reallocation.
The hash code provider dispenses hash codes for keys in the NameObjectCollectionBase instance. The default hash code provider is the CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider.
The comparer determines whether two keys are equal. The default comparer is the CaseInsensitiveComparer.
In .NET Framework version 1.0, this class uses culture-sensitive string comparisons. However, in .NET Framework version 1.1 and later, this class uses CultureInfo.InvariantCulture when comparing strings. For more information about how culture affects comparisons and sorting, see Performing Culture-Insensitive String Operations.
null is allowed as a key or as a value.
Caution |
|---|
The BaseGet method does not distinguish between null which is returned because the specified key is not found and null which is returned because the value associated with the key is null. |

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
This implementation does not provide a synchronized (thread safe) wrapper for a NameObjectCollectionBase, but derived classes can create their own synchronized versions of the NameObjectCollectionBase using the SyncRoot property.
Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread safe procedure. Even when a collection is synchronized, other threads can still modify the collection, which causes the enumerator to throw an exception. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can either lock the collection during the entire enumeration or catch the exceptions resulting from changes made by other threads.
