OneOrMany<T> Struct

Definition

A collection of T that is optimized for minimal space in the case of a single element.

generic <typename T>
 where T : classpublic value class OneOrMany
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerDisplay("Count = {Count}")]
public struct OneOrMany<T> where T : class
[<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerDisplay("Count = {Count}")>]
type OneOrMany<'T (requires 'T : null)> = struct
Public Structure OneOrMany(Of T)

Type Parameters

T

Elemental type which must be a reference type. Note: null may not be used as a value in the collection.

Inheritance
OneOrMany<T>
Attributes

Remarks

While this type has a GetEnumerator() method, it does not implement IEnumerable<T>. This is to eliminate any unintentional boxing that will happen if a value type is passed to or returned from a method via its interface. The collection may still be enumerated in foreach statements (since the compiler uses pattern matching for that), but not elsewhere such as LINQ expressions.

Constructors

OneOrMany<T>(Int32)

Creates an instance of OneOrMany<T> that will use the given capacity to create its internal list.

OneOrMany<T>(List<T>)

Creates an instance of OneOrMany<T> using the given list as the content.

OneOrMany<T>(T)

Creates an instance of OneOrMany<T> using the given object as the content.

Properties

Comparer

Gets or initializes the comparer to be used by Equals(Object) or GetHashCode().

Count

Returns the count of the number of elements in the collection.

Item[Int32]

Gets the element at the specified index in the collection.

Methods

Add(T)

Add a new value to the collection.

AsList()

Returns the underlying list if this object contains > 1 item, otherwise null.

Equals(Object)

Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal.

GetEnumerator()

Get an efficient enumerator for the collection

GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.

RemoveAt(Int32)

Remove the item at the specified index from the collection.
