My MSDN Belux Article online!

Today my article about Collections in .NET was published on the MSDN Belux site. The article is the first of two about the collection classes in the .NET Framework:

When you lookup the System.Collections namespace in the MSDN Library, you will find over 10 different classes. Choosing the right one for using in your application can be hard. This article will provide an overview and give some guidelines for choosing the right collection. The next article in this series will focus on building custom strongly typed collections and applying advanced techniques on them, such as data binding and sorting.

The level of the article is "Beginners - Intermediates", so if you're intrested... Let me know what you think about the content!

  • First of all, congratulations!!





    I browsed through the article and liked it, but there is one aspect of collection usage which you neglected to mention- serializability. Quite often the collections must be portable enough to be remoted or web-serviced. This type of requirement is often known in advance and should be factored in when choosing/designing data structures.





  • Thx Addy





    Thanks for your tip! The next part of the article series will cover building strong typed collections, so Serializability will certainly be mentioned.
