Properties

AllowNull

Gets or sets whether to allow null values and how to compare items. True = compare items by their string representation. False = compare items normally (not by string). Null = allow null values (cannot compare by string).

public bool? AllowNull { get; set; }

Property Value

bool?

Collection

Gets or sets the underlying collection of items.

public List<T> Collection { get; set; }

Property Value

List<T>

ShouldBreakOnConstruction

When true, breaks into debugger on construction. Used for debugging purposes.

public static bool ShouldBreakOnConstruction { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

StringRepresentations

Gets or sets the string representations of items when comparing by string.

public List<string> StringRepresentations { get; set; }

Property Value

List<string>

StringValue

The string value of the current item being processed.

protected string? StringValue { get; set; }

Property Value

string

public abstract int IndexOf(T value)

Parameters

value T

The item to find.
