SortedList<TKey, TValue> Constructor (Int32)

 

Initializes a new instance of the SortedList<TKey, TValue> class that is empty, has the specified initial capacity, and uses the default IComparer<T>.

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

public:
SortedList(
	int capacity
)

Parameters

capacity
Type: System::Int32

The initial number of elements that the SortedList<TKey, TValue> can contain.

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

capacity is less than zero.

Every key in a SortedList<TKey, TValue> must be unique according to the default comparer.

The capacity of a SortedList<TKey, TValue> is the number of elements that the SortedList<TKey, TValue> can hold before resizing. As elements are added to a SortedList<TKey, TValue>, the capacity is automatically increased as required by reallocating the internal array.

If the size of the collection can be estimated, specifying the initial capacity eliminates the need to perform a number of resizing operations while adding elements to the SortedList<TKey, TValue>.

The capacity can be decreased by calling TrimExcess or by setting the Capacity property explicitly. Decreasing the capacity reallocates memory and copies all the elements in the SortedList<TKey, TValue>.

This constructor uses the default comparer for TKey. To specify a comparer, use the SortedList<TKey, TValue>(Int32, IComparer<TKey>^) constructor. The default comparer Comparer<T>::Default checks whether the key type TKey implements System::IComparable<T> and uses that implementation, if available. If not, Comparer<T>::Default checks whether the key type TKey implements System::IComparable. If the key type TKey does not implement either interface, you can specify a System.Collections.Generic::IComparer<T> implementation in a constructor overload that accepts a comparer parameter.

This constructor is an O(n) operation, where n is capacity.

The following code example creates a sorted list with an initial capacity of 4 and populates it with 4 entries.
