AlgorithmsTypedAsT Method (IEnumerable) |
Given a non-generic IEnumerable interface, wrap a generic IEnumerable<T>
interface around it. The generic interface will enumerate the same objects as the
underlying non-generic collection, but can be used in places that require a generic interface.
The underlying non-generic collection must contain only items that
are of type T or a type derived from it. This method is useful
when interfacing older, non-generic collections to newer code that uses generic interfaces.

Syntaxpublic static IEnumerable<T> TypedAs<T>(
IEnumerable untypedCollection
)
public:
generic<typename T>
static IEnumerable<T>^ TypedAs(
IEnumerable^ untypedCollection
)
Parameters
- untypedCollection
- Type: System.CollectionsIEnumerable
An untyped collection. This collection should only contain
items of type T or a type derived from it.
Type Parameters
- T
- The item type of the wrapper collection.
Return Value
Type:
IEnumerableTA generic IEnumerable<T> wrapper around
untypedCollection.
If
untypedCollection is null, then null is returned.
RemarksSome collections implement both generic and non-generic interfaces. For efficiency,
this method will first attempt to cast untypedCollection to IEnumerable<T>.
If that succeeds, it is returned; otherwise, a wrapper object is created.
