The Set type exposes the following members.
Constructors
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Add |
Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present.
|
| AddAll |
Adds all the elements in the specified collection to the set if they are not already present.
|
| Clear |
Removes all objects from the set.
|
| Clone |
Returns a clone of the set instance. This will work for derived set
classes if the derived class implements a constructor that takes no arguments.
|
| Contains |
Returns trueTruetruetrue (True in Visual Basic) if this set contains the specified element.
|
| ContainsAll |
Returns trueTruetruetrue (True in Visual Basic) if the set contains all the elements in the specified collection.
|
| CopyTo |
Copies the elements in the set to an array. The type of array needs
to be compatible with the objects in the set, obviously.
|
| Equals | (Inherited from Object.) |
| ExclusiveOr(ISet) |
Performs an "exclusive-or" of the two sets, keeping only the elements that
are in one of the sets, but not in both. The original sets are not modified
during this operation. The result set is a clone of this set containing
the elements from the exclusive-or operation.
|
 | ExclusiveOr(ISet, ISet) |
Performs an "exclusive-or" of the two sets, keeping only the elements that
are in one of the sets, but not in both. The original sets are not modified
during this operation. The result set is a clone of one of the sets
(a if it is not nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)) containing
the elements from the exclusive-or operation.
|
 | 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 |
Returns an enumerator that iterates through the set.
|
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Intersect(ISet) |
Performs an "intersection" of the two sets, where only the elements
that are present in both sets remain. That is, the element is included if it exists in
both sets. The Intersect() operation does not modify the input sets. It returns
a Clone() of this set with the appropriate elements removed.
|
| Intersect(ISet, ISet) |
Performs an "intersection" of the two sets, where only the elements
that are present in both sets remain. That is, the element is included only if it exists in
both a and b. Neither input object is modified by the operation.
The result object is a Clone() of one of the input objects (a if it is not nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)) containing the
elements from the intersect operation.
|
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Minus(ISet) |
Performs a "minus" of set b from set a. This returns a set of all
the elements in set a, removing the elements that are also in set b.
The original sets are not modified during this operation. The result set is a Clone()
of this Set containing the elements from the operation.
|
| Minus(ISet, ISet) |
Performs a "minus" of set b from set a. This returns a set of all
the elements in set a, removing the elements that are also in set b.
The original sets are not modified during this operation. The result set is a Clone()
of set a containing the elements from the operation.
|
| Remove |
Removes the specified element from the set.
|
| RemoveAll |
Remove all the specified elements from this set, if they exist in this set.
|
| RetainAll |
Retains only the elements in this set that are contained in the specified collection.
|
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Union(ISet) |
Performs a "union" of the two sets, where all the elements
in both sets are present. That is, the element is included if it is in either a or b.
Neither this set nor the input set are modified during the operation. The return value
is a clone of this set with the extra elements added in.
|
| Union(ISet, ISet) |
Performs a "union" of two sets, where all the elements
in both are present. That is, the element is included if it is in either a or b.
The return value is a clone of one of the sets (a if it is not nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)) with elements of the other set
added in. Neither of the input sets is modified by the operation.

Operators
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | BitwiseAnd |
Performs an "intersection" of the two sets, where only the elements
that are present in both sets remain. That is, the element is included only if it exists in
both a and b. Neither input object is modified by the operation.
The result object is a Clone() of one of the input objects (a if it is not nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)) containing the
elements from the intersect operation.
|
| BitwiseOr |
Performs a "union" of two sets, where all the elements
in both are present. That is, the element is included if it is in either a or b.
The return value is a clone of one of the sets (a if it is not nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)) with elements of the other set
added in. Neither of the input sets is modified by the operation.
|
| ExclusiveOr |
Performs an "exclusive-or" of the two sets, keeping only the elements that
are in one of the sets, but not in both. The original sets are not modified
during this operation. The result set is a clone of one of the sets
(a if it is not nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)) containing
the elements from the exclusive-or operation.
|
| Subtraction |
Performs a "minus" of set b from set a. This returns a set of all
the elements in set a, removing the elements that are also in set b.
The original sets are not modified during this operation. The result set is a Clone()
of set a containing the elements from the operation.

Extension Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Any | (Defined by EnumerableExtensions.) |
| As<(Of <<'(T>)>>) | (Defined by TypeHelperExtensionMethods.) |
| First | (Defined by EnumerableExtensions.) |

Apply a "between" constraint to the named property
Note: throws an exception outside of a QueryOver expression
(Defined by RestrictionExtensions.) |
| IsIn(array<Object>[]()[][]) | Overloaded.
Apply an "in" constraint to the named property
Note: throws an exception outside of a QueryOver expression

Properties
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Count |
The number of elements currently contained in this collection.
|
| IsEmpty |
Returns trueTruetruetrue (True in Visual Basic) if this set contains no elements.
|
| IsSynchronized |
Returns trueTruetruetrue (True in Visual Basic) if the set is synchronized across threads. Note that
enumeration is inherently not thread-safe. Use the SyncRoot to lock the
object during enumeration.
|
| SyncRoot |
An object that can be used to synchronize this collection to make it thread-safe.
When implementing this, if your object uses a base object, like an IDictionary,
or anything that has a SyncRoot, return that object instead
of this.
