Class RiskPatternCollection

RiskPatternCollection class

Represents a collection containing the instances of the RiskPattern class.

public class RiskPatternCollection : ICollection<RiskPattern>, IDictionary<Task, RiskPattern>

Properties

NameDescription
Count { get; }Gets the number of elements contained in this collection.
IsReadOnly { get; }Gets a value indicating whether this collection is read-only; otherwise, false.
Item { get; }Gets the instance of the RiskPattern class for the specified task.

Methods

NameDescription
Add(RiskPattern)Adds an instance of the RiskPattern class to this collection.
Clear()Removes all items from this collection.
Contains(RiskPattern)Returns true if the specified item is found in this collection; otherwise, false.
CopyTo(RiskPattern[], int)Copies the elements of this collection to the specified array, starting at the specified array index.
GetEnumerator()Returns an enumerator for this collection.
Remove(RiskPattern)Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from this collection.

Examples

Shows how to work with risk pattern collections.

var settings = new RiskAnalysisSettings
{
    // Set number of iterations for Monte Carlo simulation (the default value is 100).
    IterationsCount = 200
};

var project = new Project(DataDir + "Software Development Plan-1.mpp");
var task1 = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(17);
var task2 = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(18);

// as far as RiskPatternCollection is not a read-only
Console.WriteLine("Is pattern collection read-only?: " + settings.Patterns.IsReadOnly);

// one can add new patterns 
var pattern1 = new RiskPattern(task1)
{
    Distribution = ProbabilityDistributionType.Normal,
    Optimistic = 60,
    Pessimistic = 140,
    ConfidenceLevel = ConfidenceLevel.CL75
};
var pattern2 = new RiskPattern(task2)
{
    Distribution = ProbabilityDistributionType.Normal,
    Optimistic = 70,
    Pessimistic = 130,
    ConfidenceLevel = ConfidenceLevel.CL75
};

settings.Patterns.Add(pattern1);
settings.Patterns.Add(pattern2);

// iterate over added patterns
Console.WriteLine("Patterns count: " + settings.Patterns.Count);
foreach (var pattern in settings.Patterns)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Task: " + pattern.Task);
    Console.WriteLine("Distribution: " + pattern.Distribution);
    Console.WriteLine("Optimistic: " + pattern.Optimistic);
    Console.WriteLine("Pessimistic: " + pattern.Pessimistic);
    Console.WriteLine("Confidence Level: " + pattern.ConfidenceLevel);
    Console.WriteLine();
}

// edit the pattern in the collection by using index access
settings.Patterns[task1].Optimistic = 70;
settings.Patterns[task1].Pessimistic = 140;

// check patterns after edits
Console.WriteLine("Print edited patterns: ");
foreach (var pattern in settings.Patterns)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Task: " + pattern.Task);
    Console.WriteLine("Distribution: " + pattern.Distribution);
    Console.WriteLine("Optimistic: " + pattern.Optimistic);
    Console.WriteLine("Pessimistic: " + pattern.Pessimistic);
    Console.WriteLine("Confidence Level: " + pattern.ConfidenceLevel);
    Console.WriteLine();
}

// we can remove the pattern
Console.WriteLine("Removing the first pattern...");
settings.Patterns.Remove(pattern1);

// check that pattern not in the collection
Console.WriteLine("Is collection contains the first pattern?: " + settings.Patterns.Contains(pattern1));

// one can clear the collection in two ways

// copy patterns into the array and delete them one by one
var patterns = new RiskPattern[settings.Patterns.Count];
settings.Patterns.CopyTo(patterns, 0);
foreach (var pattern in patterns)
{
    settings.Patterns.Remove(pattern);
}

// or one can clear a pattern collection completely
settings.Patterns.Clear();
