Collections
The FCL provides a set of
general-purpose
data structures such as System.Array
,
ArrayList
, Hashtable
,
Queue
, Stack
,
BitArray
, and more. Standardized design patterns
using common base types and public interfaces allow consistent
handling of collections throughout the FCL for both predefined and
user-defined collection types (see Chapter 7).
For more information, see the following namespaces:
System.Collections System.Collections.Specialized
An important related type in another namespace is
System.Array
