Return Value

It returns a shallow copy of the SortedList object.

C# Example of SortedList.Clone() Method

The source code to create a shallow copy of a SortedList object is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

using System;
using System.Collections;

class SortedListEx {
  //Entry point of Program
  static public void Main() {
    //Creation of SortedList object
    SortedList list1 = new SortedList();
    SortedList list2;

    //Add elements to SortedList 
    list1.Add(101, "India    ");
    list1.Add(105, "America  ");
    list1.Add(102, "Austrelia");
    list1.Add(103, "Africa   ");
    list1.Add(104, "Canada   ");

    Console.WriteLine("List1 Values:");
    foreach(string value in list1.Values) {
      Console.WriteLine("\t" + value);
    }

    list2 = (SortedList) list1.Clone();

    Console.WriteLine("List2 Values(Shallow copy of list1):");
    foreach(string value in list2.Values) {
      Console.WriteLine("\t" + value);
    }
  }
}

Output

List1 Values:
        India
        Austrelia
        Africa
        Canada
        America
List2 Values(Shallow copy of list1):

        Austrelia
        Africa
        Canada
