NameObjectCollectionBase.BaseAdd(String, Object) Method

Definition

Adds an entry with the specified key and value into the NameObjectCollectionBase instance.

protected void BaseAdd (string name, object value);
protected void BaseAdd (string? name, object? value);

Parameters

name
String

The String key of the entry to add. The key can be null.

value
Object

The Object value of the entry to add. The value can be null.

Exceptions

The collection is read-only.

Examples

The following code example uses BaseAdd to create a new NameObjectCollectionBase with elements from an IDictionary.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;

public class MyCollection : NameObjectCollectionBase  {

   private DictionaryEntry _de = new DictionaryEntry();

   // Gets a key-and-value pair (DictionaryEntry) using an index.
   public DictionaryEntry this[ int index ]  {
      get  {
         _de.Key = this.BaseGetKey( index );
         _de.Value = this.BaseGet( index );
         return( _de );
      }
   }

   // Adds elements from an IDictionary into the new collection.
   public MyCollection( IDictionary d )  {
      foreach ( DictionaryEntry de in d )  {
         this.BaseAdd( (String) de.Key, de.Value );
      }
   }
}

public class SamplesNameObjectCollectionBase  {

   public static void Main()  {

      // Creates and initializes a new MyCollection instance.
      IDictionary d = new ListDictionary();
      d.Add( "red", "apple" );
      d.Add( "yellow", "banana" );
      d.Add( "green", "pear" );
      MyCollection myCol = new MyCollection( d );

      // Displays the keys and values of the MyCollection instance.
      for ( int i = 0; i < myCol.Count; i++ )  {
         Console.WriteLine( "[{0}] : {1}, {2}", i, myCol[i].Key, myCol[i].Value );
      }
   }
}


/*
This code produces the following output.

[0] : red, apple
[1] : yellow, banana
[2] : green, pear

*/

Remarks

If Count already equals the capacity, the capacity of the NameObjectCollectionBase is increased by automatically reallocating the internal array, and the existing elements are copied to the new array before the new element is added.

If Count is less than the capacity, this method is an O(1) operation. If the capacity needs to be increased to accommodate the new element, this method becomes an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
