为什么IDictionary<TKey，TValue>要扩展ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey，TValue>>？

Question

我正在尝试为ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue> 4.0创建一个自定义.NET。其方法是保留一个私有Dictionary<TKey, TValue>对象以及标志，以确定是否允许添加/删除和项分配。

这很好，但我希望实现IDictionary<TKey, TValue>接口的完整性。但是，我注意到它扩展了ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>，而它的属性或方法却没有出现在Dictionary<TKey, TValue>类中。这怎麽可能？如果实现了接口，为什么不公开ICollection成员？

此外，为什么Dictionary类首先需要实现ICollection？

下面是一个粗略的实现：

public sealed class ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>:
    //IDictionary<TKey, TValue>,
    IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>
{
    #region Members.

    public bool AllowListEdit { get; private set; }
    public bool AllowItemEdit { get; private set; }
    private Dictionary<TKey, TValue> Dictionary { get; set; }

    #endregion Members.

    #region Constructors.

    public ReadOnlyDictionary (bool allowListEdit, bool allowItemEdit) { this.AllowListEdit = allowListEdit; this.AllowItemEdit = allowItemEdit; this.Dictionary = new Dictionary<TKey, TValue>(); }
    public ReadOnlyDictionary (IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer, bool allowListEdit, bool allowItemEdit) { this.AllowListEdit = allowListEdit; this.AllowItemEdit = allowItemEdit; this.Dictionary = new Dictionary<TKey, TValue>(comparer); }
    public ReadOnlyDictionary (IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, bool allowListEdit = false, bool allowItemEdit = false) : this(allowListEdit, allowItemEdit) { foreach (var pair in dictionary) { this.Dictionary.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value); } }
    public ReadOnlyDictionary (IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer, bool allowListEdit = false, bool allowItemEdit = false) : this(comparer, allowListEdit, allowItemEdit) { foreach (var pair in dictionary) { this.Dictionary.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value); } }

    #endregion Constructors.

    #region Properties.

    public int Count { get { return (this.Dictionary.Count); } }
    public IEqualityComparer<TKey> Comparer { get { return (this.Dictionary.Comparer); } }

    #endregion Properties.

    #region Methods.

    private void ThrowItemReadOnlyException () { if (this.AllowListEdit) { throw (new NotSupportedException("This collection does not allow editing items.")); } }
    private void ThrowListReadOnlyException () { if (this.AllowItemEdit) { throw (new NotSupportedException("This collection does not allow adding and removing items.")); } }
    public bool ContainsValue (TValue value) { return (this.Dictionary.ContainsValue(value)); }
    public void Clear () { this.ThrowListReadOnlyException(); this.Dictionary.Clear(); }

    #endregion Methods.

    #region Interface Implementation: IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator () { return (this.Dictionary.GetEnumerator()); }
    public IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>> GetEnumerator () { return (this.Dictionary.GetEnumerator()); }

    #endregion Interface Implementation: IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    #region Interface Implementation: ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    //public int Count { get { return (this.Dictionary.Count); } }
    //public bool IsReadOnly { get { return (this.AllowListEdit); } }

    //public bool Contains (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public void Clear () { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public void Add (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public void CopyTo (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> [] array, int arrayIndex) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public bool Remove (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }

    #endregion Interface Implementation: ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    #region Interface Implementation: IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

    //====================================================================================================
    // Interface Implementation: IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
    //====================================================================================================

    public Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.KeyCollection Keys { get { return (this.Dictionary.Keys); } }
    public Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.ValueCollection Values { get { return (this.Dictionary.Values); } }
    public TValue this [TKey key] { get { return (this.Dictionary [key]); } set { this.ThrowItemReadOnlyException(); this.Dictionary [key] = value; } }

    public void Add (TKey key, TValue value) { this.ThrowListReadOnlyException(); this.Dictionary.Add(key, value); }
    public bool ContainsKey (TKey key) { return (this.Dictionary.ContainsKey(key)); }
    public bool Remove (TKey key) { this.ThrowListReadOnlyException(); return (this.Dictionary.Remove(key)); }
    public bool TryGetValue (TKey key, out TValue value) { return (this.Dictionary.TryGetValue(key, out value)); }

    #endregion Interface Implementation: IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Answer 1

Dictionary<TKey, TValue>显式地实现了ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>接口。

正如您在Dictionary上看到的，这些方法列在“显式接口实现”下面。

显式实现接口意味着这些方法将无法通过具体类型可用。您必须将字典转换为ICollection<T>才能调用它们。

Dictionary<int, int> dict = new Dictionary<int, int>();
bool sync = dict.IsSynchronized; // not allowed

ICollection<KeyValuePair<int, int>> dict = new Dictionary<int, int>();
bool sync = dict.IsSynchronized; // allowed
