Re: Iterators and versioning

I don't understand this question... are you saying while iterating through a
collection, you have a method to modify it?.. if so, the method to modify is
given as part of the collection object, you should not use it while
iterating through the list

I notice that using iterators it is possible to modify a collection whilst
enumerating over it's elements. Is this by design or just a side-effect of
their implementation? Viewing the disassembly for the generated classes I
note that the compiler-generated enumerator has no version checking. Is
there
an in-depth analysis of this on the www anywhere?

Thanks
