What's the best way to achieve this, or is this a bad idea?

Derive from CollectionBase and do not add a Add method. Super easy to
implement.

I do not think it's a bad idea. if you have the need for it .

In 2.0 there is ReadOnlyCollect ion<Twhich does this for you.

Maybe better yet, derive from ReadOnlyCollect ionBase and you are quite done.

Yes, you are correct ReadOnlyCollect ionBase is the way to go, Note though
that the only difference is the absence of a Clear method from the readonl
version.

Doesn't the CollectionBase implement the IList interface so it has "extra"
methods like Remove/RemoveAT/Insert, among the other things (so to make it
really read only, you should override those too).
The ReadOnlyCollect ionBase implements only ICollection and IEnumerable so it
does not have them.

Supported yes, but also correctly implemented to be really
readonlycollect ion, for example:

void IList<T>.Insert (int index, T value) {
ThrowHelper.Thr owNotSupportedE xception(Except ionResource.Not Supported_ReadO nlyCollection);
}

void ICollection<T>. Add(T value) {
ThrowHelper.Thr owNotSupportedE xception(Except ionResource.Not Supported_ReadO nlyCollection);
}

So it really remains "immutable" .

I am learning about difference between String and StringBuffer classes. In a book it sayes that a String class is immutable, that means that one an instance of String class is created, the string it contais cannot be changed, only reference will change to point to a different string. So results will be different in the following code depending is a, b are defined as String or StringBuffer: a = new String("test") (or new...

Yo. Why can't we __setitem__ for tuples? The way I see it is that if we enable __setitem__ for tuples there doesn't seem to be any performance penalty if the users don't use it (aka, python performance independent of tuple mutability). On the other hand, right now we have to use a list if we want to __setitem__ on a sequence. If we could use tuples in the cases where we want to modify items but not modify the length of the sequence,

Hi, reading the documentation (and also from a hint from this NG) i know now that there are some types that are not mutable. But why is it this way?

Hi Just read this article http://www.artima.com/intv/choices.html. Towards the end of the dicussions, when asked "Did you consider including support for the concept of immutable directly in C# and the CLR?" Anders' reply included this comment: "The concept of an immutable object is very useful, but it's just up to the author to say that it's immutable."
