Introduction
Collection represents a set of objects that you can access by stepping through
each element in turn. The .NET Framework provides specialized classes for
managing collection and these classes have rich capability for enhancing your
programming experience through better performance and easy maintenance. A
collection sometimes called a container is simply an object that
groups multiple elements into a single unit. Collections are used to store,
retrieve manipulate and communicate aggregate data. A collection handle is
what Shoplift uses to build a pretty looking search engine friendly web address
also known as URL to your collection page on your store front. The .NET Base
Class Library (BCL) has a wide array of collection classes at your disposal
which make it easy to manage collections of objects. While it's great to have so
many classes available it can be daunting to choose the right collection to use
for any given situation. As hard as it may be choosing the right collection can
be absolutely key to the performance and maintainability of your application.
Example
class
Test
{
static void
Main()
{
StringCollection stringList =
new StringCollection();
stringList.Add("Manish");
stringList.Add("Sandeep");
stringList.Add("Amit");
stringList.Add("Rajesh");
foreach (string
str in stringList)
{
Console.WriteLine(str);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
