Structures Methods |
The Structures type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Add | |
| Clear | Removes all items from the ICollectionT. |
| Contains | Determines whether the ICollectionT contains a specific value. |
| CopyTo | |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetEnumerator | |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| IndexOf | Determines the index of a specific item in the IListT. |
| Insert | Inserts an item to the IListT at the specified index. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Remove | Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from the ICollectionT. |
| RemoveAt | Removes the IListT item at the specified index. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Extension Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BinarySearchIStructure(IStructure) | Overloaded.
Searches the entire sorted IListT for an element
and returns the zero-based index of the element.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)If the key is not found, a negative number is returned, which can be intepreted as the bitwise complement of the interval of indices that the key is in between, i.e. list[interval-1] < key < list[interval] |
 | BinarySearchIStructure(FuncIStructure, Int32) | Overloaded.
Searches the entire sorted IListT for an element using the provided
comparer and returns the zero-based index of the element.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)This differs from the "ordinary" binary search in allowing a comparer delegate that defines whether an item is found (returning 0), whether the item in the list is before (<0) or after (>0) that knows how to compare a class with its key. Example, if the list contains classes of type T having an id number and the class is sorted on that id, then the keySelector returns the id number for that class. Examples
If having a list of doubles, to find 4.5 in the list, use:
int index = list.BinarySearch(d => d.CompareTo(4.5)) |
| BinarySearchIStructure(IStructure, IComparerIStructure) | Overloaded.
Searches the entire sorted IListT for an element using the provided
comparer and returns the zero-based index of the element.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)If the key is not found, a negative number is returned, which can be intepreted as the bitwise complement of the interval of indices that the key is in between, i.e. list[interval-1] < key < list[interval] |
| BinarySearchIStructure, TKey(FuncIStructure, TKey, TKey) | Overloaded.
Searches the entire sorted IListT for an element
and returns the zero-based index of the element.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)If the key is not found, a negative number is returned, which can be intepreted as the bitwise complement of the interval of indices that the key is in between, i.e. list[interval-1] < key < list[interval]This differs from the "ordinary" binary search in allowing a keySelectorcomparer that knows how to compare a class with its key. Example, if the list contains classes of type T having an id number and the class is sorted on that id, then the keySelector returns the id number for that class. |
| BinarySearchIStructure, TKey(FuncIStructure, TKey, TKey, IComparerTKey) | Overloaded.
Searches the entire sorted IListT for an element using the provided
comparer and returns the zero-based index of the element.

| FindIndexIStructure(PredicateIStructure) | Overloaded. Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the range of elements in the list. (Defined by GenericExtensions.) |
| FindIndexIStructure(Int32, PredicateIStructure) | Overloaded. Searches for an element that matches the conditions defined by the specified predicate, and returns the zero-based index of the first occurrence within the range of elements in the ListT that extends from the specified index to the last element. (Defined by GenericExtensions.) |
| SortIStructure | Overloaded.
Sorts the elements in the entire List{T} using the default comparer.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)A quick sort algorithm is used. Quick sort is a un-stable sort algorithm i.e. if two elements are equal their order may not be preserved. If the provided IList is either an array or a list, the build in sorting method is used (also quick sort). |
| SortIStructure(IComparerIStructure) | Overloaded.
Sorts the elements in the entire List{T} using the provided comparer.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)A quick sort algorithm is used. Quick sort is a un-stable sort algorithm i.e. if two elements are equal their order may not be preserved. If the provided IList is either an array or a list, the build in sorting method is used (also quick sort). |
| SortStableIStructure | Overloaded. (Defined by GenericExtensions.) |
| SortStableIStructure(IComparerIStructure) | Overloaded.
Sorts the elements in the entire List{T} using the provided comparer.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)A merge sort algorithm is used. merge sort is a stable sort algorithm i.e. if two elements are equal their order are preserved. |
| SortStableIStructure(ComparisonIStructure) | Overloaded.
Sorts the elements in the entire List{T} using the provided comparer.
(Defined by GenericExtensions.)A merge sort algorithm is used. merge sort is a stable sort algorithm i.e. if two elements are equal their order are preserved. |
