What exactally is your question?
Hmmmmm

.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...
