In my case, ListEx still is completely generic. I just like to redefine most of system classes I use in case I need to extend theme later. I KNOW I shouldn't put something specific into something generic, that's why ListEx is only but this more then List:
Code:
Public Sub New()
' Empty constructor.
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal oFirstItem As T)
Me.Add(oFirstItem)
End Sub
This is for the purpose of creating an object of ListEx "on the fly" (e.g.: for a parameter), where you only need one item quickly.
I've heard about extensions, but didn't find the time to dig more into theme. Perhaps another time.
Anyhow, a little bit off topic...
I still don't think what I've done (and compiler let me) is valid. Type is a type, except in case of interfaces.

No reason really. Just a VB6 legacy
