Member Function Documentation

Add()

void Add	(	TKey	key,
		TValue	value
	)

Adds the specified key and value to the SerializableDictionary.

Parameters

key	The key of the element to add.
value	The value of the element to add.

ContainsKey()

bool ContainsKey

(

TKey

key

)

Determines whether the SerializableDictionary contains the specified key.

Parameters

key	The key to locate in the SerializableDictionary.

Returns

true if the SerializableDictionary contains an element with the specified key; otherwise, false.

Create< TKey, TValue >()

static SerializableDictionary< TKey, TValue > Create< TKey, TValue > ( )

static

Creates a new serializable dictionary.

Template Parameters

TKey	The type of the dictionary key.
TValue	The type of the dictionary value.

Returns

A new serializable dictionary.

GetEnumerator()

Dictionary< TKey, TValue >.Enumerator GetEnumerator

(

)

Returns an enumerator that iterates through the SerializableDictionary.

Returns

A Dictionary{TKey,TValue}.Enumerator structure for the SerializableDictionary.

Remove()

bool Remove

(

TKey

key

)

Removes the value with the specified key from the SerializableDictionary.

Parameters

key	The key of the element to remove.

Returns

true if the element is successfully found and removed; otherwise, false. This method returns false if key is not found in the SerializableDictionary.

TryGetValue()

bool TryGetValue	(	TKey	key,
		out TValue	value
	)

Gets the value associated with the specified key.

Parameters

key	The key of the value to get.
value	When this method returns, contains the value associated with the specified key, if the key is found; otherwise, the default value for the type of the value parameter. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Returns

true if the SerializableDictionary contains an element with the specified key; otherwise, false.

Wrap()

static SerializableDictionary< TKey, TValue > Wrap ( Dictionary< TKey, TValue >  dictionary )

static

Wraps an existing Dictionary into a SerializableDictionary.

Parameters

dictionary

The Dictionary to be wrapped.

Returns

A new SerializableDictionary that wraps the provided Dictionary.

Property Documentation

this[TKey key]

TValue this[TKey key]

getset

Gets or sets the value associated with the specified key.

Parameters

key	The key of the value to get or set.

Returns

The value associated with the specified key. If the specified key is not found, a get operation throws a KeyNotFoundException, and a set operation creates a new element with the specified key.
