Is there an AddRange equivalent for a HashSet in C#

For HashSet<T>, the name is UnionWith.

This is to indicate the distinct way the HashSet works. You cannot safely Add a set of random elements to it like in Collections, some elements may naturally evaporate.

I think that UnionWith takes its name after "merging with another HashSet", however, there's an overload for IEnumerable<T> too.


This is one way:

public static class Extensions
{
    public static bool AddRange<T>(this HashSet<T> source, IEnumerable<T> items)
    {
        bool allAdded = true;
        foreach (T item in items)
        {
            allAdded &= source.Add(item);
        }
        return allAdded;
    }
}
