How would you implement a custom collection in C#?
To implement a custom collection:
- Derive from existing base classes like Collection<T>, List<T>, or implement
interfaces such as ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>, or IList<T>.
- Override or implement necessary methods like Add(), Remove(),
GetEnumerator(), and indexers.
- Provide custom behavior, validation, or constraints as needed.
Example:
public class MyCustomCollection<T> : Collection<T>
protected override void InsertItem(int index, T item)
Follow:
// Custom validation
if (item == null) throw new
ArgumentNullException(nameof(item));
base.InsertItem(index, item);
