Thankyou but my question is not about how we can use COM API for getting SelectionSets collection. My question is why .NET API does not provide this and is there any other way in .NET API, other than probably creating my own collection.
There is no need for a collection of SelectionSet in the .NET. API.
SelectionSets are things you get friom calling editor methods to select objects, and after you get them and do what you need with the objects they contain, you discard them.
Unlike ActiveX SelectionSets, managed SelectionSets are not re-usable. There is no Clear() method to empty them and there is no way to re-use them. Unlike ActiveX selection sets, managed selection sets do not have methods to select objects.The Editor class has those methods, and they return a new managed SelectionSet each time you call them, so there's really no point or purpose to having a collection of managed SelectionSets.
The ActiveX and managed APIs are not remotely similar, and I think that's the underlying problem here. You can't approach programming with the .NET API as if it were just a managed equivalent of the ActiveX API, because it is not. It is very different and more difficult to use, but more powerful at the same time.
