BaseCollection

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

public abstract class BaseCollection : Object, Traversable<DomElement>, Iterable<DomElement>, Collection

Base class for collections implementing Collection, providing basic infrastructure.

Collections properties should be initialized with current container element in order to be able to add new references to elements. Use initialize_element to set parent element and search to find elements for collection.

Methods:

public virtual void clear () throws Error
Clear this collection in preparation for a search
public void initialize_element (Element e) throws Error
Initialize an Collection to use an element as children's parent. Searches for all nodes, calling Collection.search with Collection.items_type, using its DomElement.local_name to find it.
public abstract bool validate_append (int index, DomElement element) throws Error
Validate if given node and index, should be added to collection.

Fields:

protected Element _element
Element used to refer of containier element. You should define it at construction time our set it as a construction property.
protected string _items_name

protected Type _items_type
Objects' type to be referenced by this collection and to deserialize objects. Derived classes, can initialize this value at constructor or as construct property.
protected Queue<int> _nodes_index
A collection of node's index referred. Don't modify it manually.
