NOV Data Structures are as clean as possible from .NET interface dependencies. In some cases however, it is required to wrap an implementation of a specific NOV Data Structures interface and expose it as a .NET interface and vice-versa. This wrapping process is known as adaptation, since it uses the adapter design pattern - an intermediate adapter object is created that implements the target interface and takes as input the adapted interface. In NOV the adaptation to/from NOV Data Structures interfaces is exposed by static methods of the NCLRAdapt<T> static class.

The following example demonstrates how to use a foreach loop, to iterate through the items of a NList<T>.

NList<string> fruits = new NList<string>();
fruits.Add("Apple");
fruits.Add("Orange");
fruits.Add("Banana"); 
foreach (string fruit in NCLRAdapt<string>.ToIEnumerable(fruits))
{
    Console.WriteLine(fruit);
}

The following table summarizes the currently possible conversions exposed by the methods of the NCLRAdapt<T> static class:
