Collection Missing.......

hi

we have collections in vb..

VB Code:

Dim Edd_col As New Collection

but hardly i find usage of it.... and when i search i did not find much...

i am bit :confused: is it so simple ...? is it not good to use...? it is very one are smart on this...:D

Does VB.net has collection...?

:o :mad:

What exactally is your question?
Hmmmmm :confused:

.Net does have collections.
Collections are used everywhere! They are VERY handy...

collections you can think of as an array.. the difference being that you can easily add/remove items from it.. and when adding you can add at a specific point in the collection to retain an order...you can also associate each item in the collection with a key for easy access to each item..

thanks Wokawidget & kleinma..

u are right Wokawidget i did not find collection in .net.
in my vb6 project i have several form where i have used collection. now when ms has removed it i was wondering is it good to use collection.

kleinma i read the easy of collection and feel it handy to use.

and i hardy find people talking abou it why....

The largest advantage to collections that I have found is that they can be iterated using a for each ... in ... loop.

Arrays cannot. They require something to the effect of FOR I = LBound(theArray) to UBound(theArray)

Another advantage is that you can retrieve an item either with its key or with its index.

I don't know what you mean, khalik_ash. I don't have .NET and cannot answer that, but Wokawidget said that .NET has collections.

sorry i missed out that... i did not check it... let me check it...
so i need to confirm that using collection is good... than arrays

Arrays = Smaller resources
Collections = More functionality

I personally would use collections, can't stand arrays.

The answer to your question is, YES, collections are a good thing to use...:D
