SortedList: RemoveAt

The index sequence is based on the sort sequence. When an element is added, it is inserted into SortedList in the correct sort order, and the indexing adjusts accordingly. When an element is removed, the indexing also adjusts accordingly. Therefore, the index of a specific key/value pair might change as elements are added or removed from the SortedList object.

Exceptions

Examples

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Index is outside the range of valid indexes for the SortedList object.
NotSupportedException	The SortedList object is read-only. -or- The SortedList has a fixed size.

The following code example shows how to remove elements from a SortedList object.

Public Sub Main()
    Dim List As New SortedList

    List.Add "3c", "dog"
    List.Add "2c", "over"
    List.Add "1c", "brown"
    List.Add "1a", "The"
    List.Add "1b", "quick"
    List.Add "3a", "the"
    List.Add "3b", "lazy"
    List.Add "2a", "fox"
    List.Add "2b", "jumped"
    
    Debug.Print "The SortedList initially contains the following:"
    PrintKeysAndValues List
    
    List.Remove "3b"
    
    Debug.Print "After removing ""lazy"":"
    PrintKeysAndValues List
    
    List.RemoveAt 5
    
    Debug.Print "After removing the element at index 5:"
    PrintKeysAndValues List
End Sub

Private Sub PrintKeysAndValues(ByVal List As SortedList)
    Dim i As Long
    
    Debug.Print t("\t-KEY-\t-VALUE-")
    
    For i = 0 To List.Count - 1
        Debug.Print CorString.Format(t("\t{0}:\t{1}"), List.GetKey(i), List.GetByIndex(i))
    Next
    
    Debug.Print
End Sub

' The following code produces the following output.
'
'    The SortedList initially contains the following:
'        -KEY-   -VALUE-

'        After removing "lazy":
