Class UniqueNameSet<T>

Generates a unique name for every value it is passed. Generated names are stored, but not associated with the object they originated from: generating a name for the same object twice will always result in two different unique names. The resulting name will never be null or empty.

Syntax

public sealed class UniqueNameSet<T>

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of value to name.

Constructors

UniqueNameSet(Func<T, String>, Func<T, Int32, String>)

Creates a unique name set from the given name-providing function, and a name-generating function that is used to resolve collisions.

Declaration

public UniqueNameSet(Func<T, string> getName, Func<T, int, string> generateName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Func<T, System.String>	getName	A function that maps values to their preferred names.
System.Func<T, System.Int32, System.String>	generateName	A function that takes a value and an integer and combines them into a name. This function is called with increasingly large integers when a collision occurs, until a unique name is found.

UniqueNameSet(Func<T, String>, Func<T, Int32, String>, UniqueNameSet<T>)

Creates a unique name set from the given name-providing function, and a name-generating function that is used to resolve collisions. This unique set's name pool is aliased with the given other unique name set.

Declaration

public UniqueNameSet(Func<T, string> getName, Func<T, int, string> generateName, UniqueNameSet<T> alias)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Func<T, System.String>	getName	A function that maps values to their preferred names.
System.Func<T, System.Int32, System.String>	generateName	A function that takes a value and an integer and combines them into a name. This function is called with increasingly large integers when a collision occurs, until a unique name is found.
UniqueNameSet<T>	alias	A unique name set with which this unique name set's generated names are aliased.

UniqueNameSet(Func<T, String>, String)

Creates a unique name set from the given name-providing function, and a prefix that is used to resolve collisions.

Declaration

public UniqueNameSet(Func<T, string> getName, string prefix)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Func<T, System.String>	getName	A function that maps values to their preferred names.
System.String	prefix	A string prefix that is used to generate a unique name when a collision occurs.

UniqueNameSet(Func<T, String>, String, UniqueNameSet<T>)

Creates a unique name set from the given name-providing function, and a prefix that is used to resolve collisions. This unique set's name pool is aliased with another unique name set.

Declaration

public UniqueNameSet(Func<T, string> getName, string prefix, UniqueNameSet<T> alias)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Func<T, System.String>	getName	A function that maps values to their preferred names.
System.String	prefix	A string prefix that is used to generate a unique name when a collision occurs.
UniqueNameSet<T>	alias	A unique name set with which this unique name set's generated names are aliased.

Methods

GenerateName(T)

Generates a unique name for the given value.

Declaration

public string GenerateName(T element)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T	element	The value to generate a name for.

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	A unique name.

ReserveName(String)

Reserves a name, making sure it is never generated for any element.

Declaration

public bool ReserveName(string name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	name	The name to reserve.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the name is reserved by this call; false if it has already been reserved or generated.
