Remove all elements from a SortedList in C#

To remove all elements from a SortedList, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args){
      SortedList sortedList = new SortedList();
      sortedList.Add("A", "1");
      sortedList.Add("B", "2");
      sortedList.Add("C", "3");
      sortedList.Add("D", "4");
      sortedList.Add("E", "5");
      sortedList.Add("F", "6");
      sortedList.Add("G", "7");
      sortedList.Add("H", "8");
      sortedList.Add("I", "9");
      sortedList.Add("J", "10");
      Console.WriteLine("SortedList elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in sortedList){
         Console.WriteLine("Key = "+d.Key + ", Value = " + d.Value);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("Count of SortedList key-value pairs = "+sortedList.Count);
      sortedList.Clear();
      Console.WriteLine("Count of SortedList (updated) = "+sortedList.Count);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

SortedList elements...
Key = A, Value = 1
Key = B, Value = 2
Key = C, Value = 3
Key = D, Value = 4
Key = E, Value = 5
Key = F, Value = 6
Key = G, Value = 7
Key = H, Value = 8
Key = I, Value = 9
Key = J, Value = 10
Count of SortedList key-value pairs = 10
Count of SortedList (updated) = 0

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args){
      SortedList sortedList = new SortedList();
      sortedList.Add("A", "1");
      sortedList.Add("B", "2");
      sortedList.Add("C", "3");
      Console.WriteLine("Count of SortedList key-value pairs = "+sortedList.Count);
      Console.WriteLine("SortedList elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in sortedList){
         Console.WriteLine("Key = "+d.Key + ", Value = " + d.Value);
      }
      sortedList.Clear();
      Console.WriteLine("Count of SortedList key-value pairs (updated) = "+sortedList.Count);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Count of SortedList key-value pairs = 3 SortedList elements...
Key = A, Value = 1
Key = B, Value = 2
Key = C, Value = 3
Count of SortedList key-value pairs (updated) = 0
