####Concurrent Collections
| Collection | Features |
|---|---|
| ConcurrentDictionary | Threads, TryAdd, TryUpdate, TryRemove, AddOrUpdate, TryGetValue, Clear |
| ConcurrentQueue | Enqueue, TryDequeue, TryPeek, Action delegate, Parallel.Invoke, Interlocked.Add |
| ConcurrentStack | PushRange, TryPopRange, Interlocked.Increment, Parallel.For |
| ConcurrentBag | Add, TryTake, TryPeek |
| Blocking Collection | Add, TryTake, TryAddToAny, TryTakeFromAny, CompleteAdding, Action delegate, Parallel.Invoke, Interlocked.Add, CancellationTokenSource |
####Generic Collections
| Collection | Features |
|---|---|
| Dictionary(TKey , TValue) | Add, Remove, ValueCollection, KeyValuePair, KeyCollection, TryGetValue, Enumerator, Exception Handling with 'ArgumentException' & 'KeyNotFoundException' |
| HashSet(T) | Add, UnionWith and a second example implements IEqualityComparer(T) |
| SortedDictionary(TKey , TValue) | Add, Remove, ValueCollection, KeyValuePair, KeyCollection, TryGetValue, Exception Handling with 'ArgumentException' & 'KeyNotFoundException' |
| LinkedList(T) | AddFirst, AddLast, AddBefore, AddAfter, RemoveFirst, RemoveLast, Find, FindLast, clear, copying to array & exception handling with 'InvalidOperationException' when node already exists |
| List(T) | Add, Remove, Sort, Reverse, Capacity, Count, Clear, Insert(n,T) |
| KeyedCollection(TKey,TItem) | Add, Insert, Get, Remove, RemoveAt, IndexOf |
####Observable Collections
| Collection | Features |
|---|---|
| ObservableCollection(T) | Custom ObservableCollection(T) implementation with Add, Remove, Contains, CopyTo, Clear & Enumerator |
####Immutable Collections
| Collection | Features |
|---|---|
| ImmutableList(T) | Create and index access |
####Interfaces
| Interface | Features |
|---|---|
| ICollection(T) | Demonstrates how to create a custom collection (BoxCollection) that also utilises a custom Enumerator(T). This collection overrides the Remove, Contains, Add, GetEnumerator, IEnumerable.GetEnumerator, Clear, IsReadOnly & Count members, as well as introducing an indexer method and a custom Contains method that allows you to pass in an EqualityComparer(T) object. |
| IEnumerable(T) | Demonstrates how to create a custom file reader (EnumerableStreamReader) that utilises a custom Enumerator(T). |
####Enumerators
| Class | Features |
|---|---|
| IEnumerator(T) | 2 examples demonstrating iteration over a list and a text file |
####Comparer Classes
| Class | Features |
|---|---|
| Comparer(T) | Demonstrates sorting collections by implementing IComparable(T) & deriving from Comparer(T) |
| EqualityComparer(T) | Demonstrates equality comparison by deriving from EqualityComparer(T) class |
