Type Parameters

TKey

Entry key (identifier) type.

TValue

Constructors

Cache(IEqualityComparer<TKey>, int, Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>?)

Creates a new empty Cache<TKey, TValue> instance that uses a custom key comparer.

public Cache(IEqualityComparer<TKey> keyComparer, int capacity = 2147483647, Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>? removeCallback = null)

Parameters

keyComparer IEqualityComparer<TKey>

Custom key equality comparer.

capacity int

An optional maximum capacity. Equal to MaxValue by default.

removeCallback Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>

An optional callback which gets invoked every time an entry is removed from this cache.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

When capacity is less than 1.

Cache(int, Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>?)

Creates a new empty Cache<TKey, TValue> instance that uses the Default key comparer.

public Cache(int capacity = 2147483647, Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>? removeCallback = null)

Parameters

capacity int

An optional maximum capacity. Equal to MaxValue by default.

removeCallback Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>

An optional callback which gets invoked every time an entry is removed from this cache.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

When capacity is less than 1.

Properties

Capacity

Maximum capacity of this cache. Adding entries to caches whose capacity have been reached will cause their Oldest entry to be removed.

public int Capacity { get; }

Property Value

int

Comparer

IEqualityComparer<T> instance used for key equality comparison.

public IEqualityComparer<TKey> Comparer { get; }

Property Value

IEqualityComparer<TKey>

Count

Gets the number of elements in the collection.

public int Count { get; }

Property Value

int

The number of elements in the collection.

this[TKey]

Gets or sets the entry that has the specified key.

public TValue this[TKey key] { get; set; }

Parameters

key TKey

The key of the entry to get or set.

Property Value

TValue

Remarks

See AddOrUpdate(TKey, TValue) for more information about the setter's behavior.

Exceptions

KeyNotFoundException

Entry with the provided key does not exist.

Keys

Gets an enumerable collection that contains the keys in the read-only dictionary.

public IEnumerable<TKey> Keys { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerable<TKey>

An enumerable collection that contains the keys in the read-only dictionary.

Newest

Currently newest cache entry.

public KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>? Newest { get; }

Property Value

KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>?

Oldest

Currently oldest cache entry.

public KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>? Oldest { get; }

Property Value

KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>?

Remarks

This entry will be removed when new entry addition causes Count to exceed Capacity.

RemoveCallback

An optional callback which gets invoked every time an entry is removed from this cache.

public Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>? RemoveCallback { get; }

Property Value

Action<CachedItemRemovalEvent<TKey, TValue>>

Values

Gets an enumerable collection that contains the values in the read-only dictionary.

public IEnumerable<TValue> Values { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerable<TValue>

An enumerable collection that contains the values in the read-only dictionary.

Methods

AddOrUpdate(TKey, TValue)

Adds a new entry or updates an existing one if key already exists.

public AddOrUpdateResult AddOrUpdate(TKey key, TValue value)

Parameters

key TKey

Entry's key.

value TValue

Entry's value.

Returns

AddOrUpdateResult

Added when new entry has been added (provided key did not exist), otherwise Updated.

Remarks

When new entry addition causes Count to exceed Capacity, then the Oldest entry will be removed automatically.

Clear()

Removes all entries from the collection.

public void Clear()

ContainsKey(TKey)

Determines whether the read-only dictionary contains an element that has the specified key.

[Pure]
public bool ContainsKey(TKey key)

Parameters

key TKey

The key to locate.

Returns

bool

true if the read-only dictionary contains an element that has the specified key; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

GetEnumerator()

Creates a new LinkedListSlimNodeEnumerator<T> instance for this cache.

[Pure]
public LinkedListSlimNodeEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>> GetEnumerator()

Returns

LinkedListSlimNodeEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>

New LinkedListSlimNodeEnumerator<T> instance.

Remove(TKey)

Attempts to remove an entry with the specified key.

public bool Remove(TKey key)

Parameters

key TKey

Key of an entry to remove.

Returns

bool

true when entry has been removed, otherwise false.

Remove(TKey, out TValue)

Attempts to remove an entry with the specified key and to return a value associated with that key.

public bool Remove(TKey key, out TValue removed)

Parameters

key TKey

Key of an entry to remove.

removed TValue

An out parameter that returns a value associated with the key, if it exists.

Returns

bool

true when entry has been removed, otherwise false.

Restart(TKey)

Attempts to restart an entry associated with the specified key by e.g. moving it to the top of the cache.

public bool Restart(TKey key)

Parameters

key TKey

Key of an entry to restart.

Returns

bool

true when entry has been restarted (provided key exists), otherwise false.

Remarks

Marks an entry associated with the specified key as Newest, if it exists.

TryAdd(TKey, TValue)

Attempts to add a new entry.

public bool TryAdd(TKey key, TValue value)

Parameters

key TKey

Entry's key.

value TValue

Entry's value.

Returns

bool

true when entry has been added (provided key did not exist), otherwise false.

Remarks

When new entry addition causes Count to exceed Capacity, then the Oldest entry will be removed automatically.

TryGetValue(TKey, out TValue)

Gets the value that is associated with the specified key.

public bool TryGetValue(TKey key, out TValue value)

Parameters

key TKey

The key to locate.

value TValue

When this method returns, the value associated with the specified key, if the key is found; otherwise, the default value for the type of the value parameter. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Returns

bool

true if the object that implements the IReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue> interface contains an element that has the specified key; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Restarts an entry associated with the specified key, if it exists. See Restart(TKey) for more information.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.
