ArrayList: Capacity (let)

Capacity

Sets the number of elements that the ArrayList can contain.



 Public Property Let Capacity(
	  ByVal Value As Long )

Parameters

Value
[ByVal] Long. The number of elements to set the array to.

Remarks

Capacity is the number of elements that the ArrayList can store. Count is the number of elements that are actually in the ArrayList.

Capacity is always greater than or equal to Count. If Count exceeds Capacity while adding elements, the capacity is automatically increased by reallocating the internal array before copying the old elements and adding the new elements.

The capacity can be decreased by calling TrimToSize or by setting the Capacity property explicitly. When the value of Capacity is set explicitly, the internal array is also reallocated to accommodate the specified capacity.

If the capacity is set to zero, then it is set to the default capacity of 16.

Read/Write.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeExceptionCapacity is set to a value less than Count.
OutOfMemoryExceptionThere is not enough memory available on the system.
