Read-only Wrapper for a Collection [C#]

This example shows how to easily create a read-only wrapper for a collection. This is useful if you have a private collection (with full access) and you need to show it as a read-only collection for the public.

In the example bellow, there is a class with private collection List<int> _items and public property IList<int> Items which is the readonly wrapper to the private collection.

[C#]
public class MyClass
{
    private List<int> _items = new List<int>();

    public IList<int> Items
    {
        get { return _items.AsReadOnly(); }
    }
}
