这允许您保持集合最初键入的状态,并以协变方式引用它,而无需创建分离的副本,以便在协变使用中看到对原始集合的更新。例子:
class CovarianceWrapperExample
{
class Person { }
class Employee : Person { }
void ProcessPeople(IList<Person> people) { /* ... */ }
void Foo()
{
List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>();
// cannot do:
ProcessPeople(employees);
// can do:
ProcessPeople(new CovariantListWrapper<Person, Employee>(employees));
}
}
