Object cache for C#

Question

I\'m doing a document viewer for some document format. To make it easier, let\'s say this is a PDF viewer, a Desktop application. One requirement for the s

Answer 1

I wrote an LRU Cache and some test cases, feel free to use it.

You can read through the source on my blog.

For the lazy (here it is minus the test cases):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace LRUCache {
    public class IndexedLinkedList {

        LinkedList data = new LinkedList();
        Dictionary> index = new Dictionary>();

        public void Add(T value) {
            index[value] = data.AddLast(value);
        }

        public void RemoveFirst() {
            index.Remove(data.First.Value);
            data.RemoveFirst();
        }

        public void Remove(T value) {
            LinkedListNode node;
            if (index.TryGetValue(value, out node)) {
                data.Remove(node);
                index.Remove(value);
            }
        }

        public int Count {
            get {
                return data.Count;
            }
        }

        public void Clear() {
            data.Clear();
            index.Clear();
        }

        public T First {
            get {
                return data.First.Value;
            }
        }
    }
}

LRUCache

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace LRUCache {
    public class LRUCache : IDictionary {

        object sync = new object();

            if (capacity <= 0) {
                throw new ArgumentException("capacity should always be bigger than 0");
            }

            data = new Dictionary(capacity);
            dataAsCollection = data;
            this.capacity = capacity;
        }

        public void Add(TKey key, TValue value) {
            if (!ContainsKey(key)) {
                this[key] = value;
            } else {
                throw new ArgumentException("An attempt was made to insert a duplicate key in the cache.");
            }
        }

                lruList.Remove(key);

                if (data.Count > capacity) {
