System.Collections.Generic Namespace

The System.Collections.Generic namespace contains interfaces and classes that define generic collections, which allow users to create strongly typed collections that provide better type safety and performance than non-generic strongly typed collections.

  ClassDescription
Public classComparer<(Of <(T>)>) Provides a base class for implementations of the IComparer<(Of <(T>)>) generic interface.
Public classDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)Represents a collection of keys and values.
Public classDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.KeyCollectionRepresents the collection of keys in a Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>). This class cannot be inherited.
Public classDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollectionRepresents the collection of values in a Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>). This class cannot be inherited.
Public classEqualityComparer<(Of <(T>)>) Provides a base class for implementations of the IEqualityComparer<(Of <(T>)>) generic interface.
Public classHashSet<(Of <(T>)>) Represents a set of values.
Public classKeyedByTypeCollection<(Of <(TItem>)>)Provides a collection whose items are types that serve as keys.
Public classKeyNotFoundException The exception that is thrown when the key specified for accessing an element in a collection does not match any key in the collection.
Public classLinkedList<(Of <(T>)>)Represents a doubly linked list.
Public classLinkedListNode<(Of <(T>)>) Represents a node in a LinkedList<(Of <(T>)>). This class cannot be inherited.
Public classList<(Of <(T>)>)Represents a strongly typed list of objects that can be accessed by index. Provides methods to search, sort, and manipulate lists.
Public classQueue<(Of <(T>)>)Represents a first-in, first-out collection of objects.
Public classSortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)Represents a collection of key/value pairs that are sorted on the key.
Public classSortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.KeyCollectionRepresents the collection of keys in a SortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>). This class cannot be inherited.
Public classSortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollectionRepresents the collection of values in a SortedDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>). This class cannot be inherited.
Public classSortedList<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)Represents a collection of key/value pairs that are sorted by key based on the associated IComparer<(Of <(T>)>) implementation.
Public classStack<(Of <(T>)>)Represents a variable size last-in-first-out (LIFO) collection of instances of the same arbitrary type.
Public classSynchronizedCollection<(Of <(T>)>)Provides a thread-safe collection that contains objects of a type specified by the generic parameter as elements.
Public classSynchronizedKeyedCollection<(Of <(K, T>)>)Provides a thread-safe collection that contains objects of a type specified by a generic parameter and that are grouped by keys.
Public classSynchronizedReadOnlyCollection<(Of <(T>)>)Provides a thread-safe, read-only collection that contains objects of a type specified by the generic parameter as elements.
  InterfaceDescription
Public interfaceICollection<(Of <(T>)>)Defines methods to manipulate generic collections.
Public interfaceIComparer<(Of <(T>)>) Defines a method that a type implements to compare two objects.
Public interfaceIDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) Represents a generic collection of key/value pairs.
Public interfaceIEnumerable<(Of <(T>)>) Exposes the enumerator, which supports a simple iteration over a collection of a specified type.
Public interfaceIEnumerator<(Of <(T>)>) Supports a simple iteration over a generic collection.
Public interfaceIEqualityComparer<(Of <(T>)>) Defines methods to support the comparison of objects for equality.
Public interfaceIList<(Of <(T>)>) Represents a collection of objects that can be individually accessed by index.
