Remarks

The HashSet<T> class provides high performance set operations. A set is a collection that contains no duplicate elements, and whose elements are in no particular order.

The capacity of a HashSet<T> object is the number of elements that the object can hold. A HashSet<T> object's capacity automatically increases as elements are added to the object.

The HashSet<T> class implements the ISet<T> interface.
