Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

'Declaration
Function IsProperSupersetOf ( _
    other As IEnumerable(Of T) _
) As Boolean
bool IsProperSupersetOf(
    IEnumerable<T> other
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the ISet<T> object is a correct superset of other; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

other is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If the current set is considered a proper superset of other, the current set must have at least one element that other does not have.

An empty set is a proper superset of any other collection. Therefore, this method returns true if the collection represented by the other parameter is empty, unless the current set is also empty.

This method always returns false if the number of elements in the current set is less than or equal to the number of elements in other.
