public class SerializableDictionary<TKey, TValue> : Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, IXmlSerializable
Public Class SerializableDictionary(Of TKey, TValue) _ Inherits Dictionary(Of TKey, TValue) _ Implements IXmlSerializable
generic<typename TKey, typename TValue> public ref class SerializableDictionary : public Dictionary<TKey, TValue>, IXmlSerializable
Generic Template Parameters- TKey
- Type for key
- TValue
- Type for value
Members| All Members | Constructors | Methods | Properties | Fields | |
| Icon | Member | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | SerializableDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)()()() | Initializes a new instance of the SerializableDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) class |
| Add(TKey, TValue) |
Adds the specified key and value to the dictionary.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
 | AdditionalTypes |
Array of additional types that can be used during serialization.
These would be any complex types which are used by the class to be serialized.
|
| Clear()()() |
Removes all keys and values from the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
 | Comparer |
Gets the IEqualityComparer<(Of <(T>)>) that is used to determine equality of keys for the dictionary.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| ContainsKey(TKey) |
Determines whether the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) contains the specified key.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| ContainsValue(TValue) |
Determines whether the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) contains a specific value.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| Count |
Gets the number of key/value pairs contained in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| Equals(Object) | (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetEnumerator()()() |
Returns an enumerator that iterates through the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| GetHashCode()()() |
Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
(Inherited from Object.) |
| GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext) |
Implements the ISerializable interface and returns the data needed to serialize the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) instance.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| GetSchema()()() |
This method is reserved and should not be used. When implementing the IXmlSerializable interface, you should return null (Nothing in Visual Basic) from this method, and instead, if specifying a custom schema is required, apply the XmlSchemaProviderAttribute to the class.
|
| GetType()()() |
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.) |
| Item[([(TKey])]) |
Gets or sets the value associated with the specified key.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| Keys |
Gets a collection containing the keys in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| OnDeserialization(Object) |
Implements the ISerializable interface and raises the deserialization event when the deserialization is complete.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| ReadXml(XmlReader) |
Generates an object from its XML representation.
|
| Remove(TKey) |
Removes the value with the specified key from the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| ToString()()() | (Inherited from Object.) |
| TryGetValue(TKey, TValue%) |
Gets the value associated with the specified key.
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| Values |
Gets a collection containing the values in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
(Inherited from Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).) |
| WriteXml(XmlWriter) |
Converts an object into its XML representation.
