    Linked lists

    Has anyone ever implemented a linked list in VB that actually saved time from doing the same thing with normal arrays?
    Don't need it right now, was just wondering.

    Linked lists in VB would require classes, and thus be horribly inefficient. Even VB arrays would be faster.

    Collections are a good substitute for linked lists.. they are slightly slower than arrays for reading/writing elements, but are far superior for adding/removing items.

    I know where you're coming from with that.... I used to be the same, now I use collections wherever I need linked-list style access, they save lots of headaches!
