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.
Z.
well I kind of expected that, just wanted to know since I thik linked lists could be a powerfull tool from time to time.
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.
true
I don't like collections to much though, but oh well I think I am gonna learn C as soon as I have time (will be in the summer vacation I guess...)
what's the problem with collections? :confused:
well nothing really I am just to used to arrays :)
being little conservative you know
well used them and they did their job...
:D 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!
yeah I think I should start looking into those, but I am lazy and busy :)
