ArrayList: Capacity (get)

Capacity

Gets the number of elements that the ArrayList can contain.



 Public Property Get Capacity ( ) As Long

Return Values

Long -  The number of elements allocated internally.

Remarks

Capacity is the number of elements that the ArrayList can store. Count is the number of elements that are actually in the ArrayList.

Capacity is always greater than or equal to Count. If Count exceeds Capacity while adding elements, the capacity is automatically increased by reallocating the internal array before copying the old elements and adding the new elements.

The capacity can be decreased by calling TrimToSize or by setting the Capacity property explicitly. When the value of Capacity is set explicitly, the internal array is also reallocated to accommodate the specified capacity.

If the capacity is set to zero, then it is set to the default capacity of 16.
