NamedObjectDictionary Class |
Represents a dictionary of named code or metadata objects (INamedCodeObjects and/or IMemberDefinitions/MemberInfos),
allowing multiple entries with the same name. Differs from NamedCodeObjectDictionary in that it
can hold metadata (IMemberDefinition/MemberInfo) in addition to INamedCodeObjects.

public class NamedObjectDictionary : ICollection, IEnumerable
The NamedObjectDictionary type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | NamedObjectDictionary | Initializes a new instance of the NamedObjectDictionary class |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Count |
The number of items in the dictionary.
|
| IsSynchronized |
True if access to the ICollection is synchronized.
|
| SyncRoot |
Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the ICollection.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Add |
Add a code object or metadata object (INamedCodeObject or IMemberDefinition/MemberInfo)
with the specified name to the dictionary.
|
| Clear |
Clear all members from the dictionary.
|
| CopyTo |
Copy the objects in the dictionary to the specified array, starting at the specified offset.
|
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Find |
Find named code object(s) in the dictionary by name.
|
| GetEnumerator |
Get an enumerator for the objects in the dictionary.
|
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Remove |
Remove the object with the specified name from the dictionary.
|
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Fields| Name | Description | |

Extension Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsEmpty |
Check if the specified collection is empty or null.
(Defined by CollectionUtil.) |
| NNCount |
Get the count of the specified collection, or 0 if it's null.
(Defined by CollectionUtil.) |
| NotEmpty |
Check if the specified collection is empty or null.
(Defined by CollectionUtil.) |
| ToString |
Format the specified collection into a single string using the specified separating
string to separate each item. Null items are converted to empty strings.

Remarks
This dictionary is used to maintain a dictionary of child INamedCodeObjects and/or IMemberDefinitions/MemberInfos
to allow for lookups by name. It handles multiple entries with the same name (such as overloaded methods, different type parameter counts,
or name collisions in invalid code) by storing a NamedObjectGroup object. One use of this class is for caching extension method
lookups on Namespaces. The related NamedObjectGroup class is also used in many cases when working with collections
of named objects that can be metadata (IMemberDefinition/MemberInfo) in addition to INamedCodeObjects.
