为什么IDictionary<TKey, TValue>扩展ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>?

3
我正在尝试为.NET 4.0创建一个自定义的ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>。方法是保持一个私有的Dictionary<TKey, TValue>对象,以及用于确定是否允许添加/删除和项目分配的标志。
这很好用,但我想实现IDictionary<TKey, TValue>接口以完整性。然而,我注意到它扩展了ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>,而它的属性或方法没有出现在Dictionary<TKey, TValue>类中。这怎么可能?如果实现了接口,为什么ICollection成员不被公开呢?
此外,为什么Dictionary类需要首先实现ICollection?
下面是一个粗略的实现:
public sealed class ReadOnlyDictionary<TKey, TValue>:
    //IDictionary<TKey, TValue>,
    IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>
{
    #region Members.

    public bool AllowListEdit { get; private set; }
    public bool AllowItemEdit { get; private set; }
    private Dictionary<TKey, TValue> Dictionary { get; set; }

    #endregion Members.

    #region Constructors.

    public ReadOnlyDictionary (bool allowListEdit, bool allowItemEdit) { this.AllowListEdit = allowListEdit; this.AllowItemEdit = allowItemEdit; this.Dictionary = new Dictionary<TKey, TValue>(); }
    public ReadOnlyDictionary (IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer, bool allowListEdit, bool allowItemEdit) { this.AllowListEdit = allowListEdit; this.AllowItemEdit = allowItemEdit; this.Dictionary = new Dictionary<TKey, TValue>(comparer); }
    public ReadOnlyDictionary (IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, bool allowListEdit = false, bool allowItemEdit = false) : this(allowListEdit, allowItemEdit) { foreach (var pair in dictionary) { this.Dictionary.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value); } }
    public ReadOnlyDictionary (IDictionary<TKey, TValue> dictionary, IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer, bool allowListEdit = false, bool allowItemEdit = false) : this(comparer, allowListEdit, allowItemEdit) { foreach (var pair in dictionary) { this.Dictionary.Add(pair.Key, pair.Value); } }

    #endregion Constructors.

    #region Properties.

    public int Count { get { return (this.Dictionary.Count); } }
    public IEqualityComparer<TKey> Comparer { get { return (this.Dictionary.Comparer); } }

    #endregion Properties.

    #region Methods.

    private void ThrowItemReadOnlyException () { if (this.AllowListEdit) { throw (new NotSupportedException("This collection does not allow editing items.")); } }
    private void ThrowListReadOnlyException () { if (this.AllowItemEdit) { throw (new NotSupportedException("This collection does not allow adding and removing items.")); } }
    public bool ContainsValue (TValue value) { return (this.Dictionary.ContainsValue(value)); }
    public void Clear () { this.ThrowListReadOnlyException(); this.Dictionary.Clear(); }

    #endregion Methods.

    #region Interface Implementation: IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator () { return (this.Dictionary.GetEnumerator()); }
    public IEnumerator<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>> GetEnumerator () { return (this.Dictionary.GetEnumerator()); }

    #endregion Interface Implementation: IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    #region Interface Implementation: ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    //public int Count { get { return (this.Dictionary.Count); } }
    //public bool IsReadOnly { get { return (this.AllowListEdit); } }

    //public bool Contains (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public void Clear () { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public void Add (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public void CopyTo (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> [] array, int arrayIndex) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }
    //public bool Remove (KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> item) { throw (new NotImplementedException()); }

    #endregion Interface Implementation: ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>.

    #region Interface Implementation: IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

    //====================================================================================================
    // Interface Implementation: IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
    //====================================================================================================

    public Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.KeyCollection Keys { get { return (this.Dictionary.Keys); } }
    public Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.ValueCollection Values { get { return (this.Dictionary.Values); } }
    public TValue this [TKey key] { get { return (this.Dictionary [key]); } set { this.ThrowItemReadOnlyException(); this.Dictionary [key] = value; } }

    public void Add (TKey key, TValue value) { this.ThrowListReadOnlyException(); this.Dictionary.Add(key, value); }
    public bool ContainsKey (TKey key) { return (this.Dictionary.ContainsKey(key)); }
    public bool Remove (TKey key) { this.ThrowListReadOnlyException(); return (this.Dictionary.Remove(key)); }
    public bool TryGetValue (TKey key, out TValue value) { return (this.Dictionary.TryGetValue(key, out value)); }

    #endregion Interface Implementation: IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Dictionary<TKey, TValue> 显式地实现了 ICollection<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>> 接口。
正如您可以在MSDN页面上的Dictionary中看到的那样,这些方法列在“显式接口实现”下面。
显式实现接口意味着这些方法将不会通过具体类型可用。您必须将字典强制转换为 ICollection<T> 才能调用它们。
Dictionary<int, int> dict = new Dictionary<int, int>();
bool sync = dict.IsSynchronized; // not allowed

ICollection<KeyValuePair<int, int>> dict = new Dictionary<int, int>();
bool sync = dict.IsSynchronized; // allowed

谢谢。我知道显式接口,但没有想到那个。问题是,为什么字典应该实现ICollection呢?IEnumerable已经负责迭代和任意添加KayValuePairs,不应该被允许,对吧? - Raheel Khan
@RaheelKhan 嗯,我也没有看到实现 ICollection 的很多优势。或许只是为了完整性和一致性(因为几乎所有在 System.Collections 中的集合都扩展了 ICollection)? - dcastro
我本以为集合初始化器会很有意义,但IDictionary已经定义了相关的Add方法。算了吧,对于通知垃圾邮件我很抱歉。 - Rytmis
@dcastro: 一个字典知道它里面有多少项;ICollectionICollection<T>可以报告这个信息,但IEnumerable<T>不行。在设计Dictionary时,继承自IEnumerable<T>和具有Count方法的某些东西的最不具体的接口是ICollection<T> - supercat
