NMF Collections

This package contains a few commonly used collection classes.

It defines the following interfaces:

• IOrderedSet<T> as an abstraction of a set that has an order.
• INotifyCollectionChanging as a counterpart for the base class library interface INotifyCollectionChanged in order to support listening for attempts to change the collection

It contains the following classes:

• OrderedSet<T> as a standard implementation of an ordered set, using both an array list and a hash set
• ReadOnlyOrderedSet<T> as a readonly view of an ordered set
• ReadOnlyListSelection<T> as a readonly view of a mapped list, implementing IList<T>
• Opposite collections for lists, sets and ordered sets where adding or removing elements has a side-effect to the affected element
• Observable collections for all of the above (and sets): classes that implement INotifyCollectionChanged and INotifyCollectionChanging

When should I use this package?

Use this package if you need any collection implementation from the above. In particular, this package is interesting for ordered sets.

Where can I get more information?

There is a documentation website which we try to maintain that contains a few tutorials. There are publications if you want to explore the technical details. Also, please feel free to ask a question or report a bug.
