System.Collections.Specialized Namespace
.NET Framework 1.1
The System.Collections.Specialized namespace contains specialized and strongly-typed collections; for example, a linked list dictionary, a bit vector, and collections that contain only strings.
Classes
| Class | Description |
|---|---|
| CollectionsUtil | Creates collections that ignore the case in strings. |
| HybridDictionary | Implements IDictionary by using a ListDictionary while the collection is small, and then switching to a Hashtable when the collection gets large. |
| ListDictionary | Implements IDictionary using a singly linked list. Recommended for collections that typically contain 10 items or less. |
| NameObjectCollectionBase | Provides the abstract (MustInherit in Visual Basic) base class for a collection of associated String keys and Object values that can be accessed either with the key or with the index. |
| NameObjectCollectionBase. KeysCollection | Represents a collection of the String keys of a collection. |
| NameValueCollection | Represents a sorted collection of associated String keys and String values that can be accessed either with the key or with the index. |
| StringCollection | Represents a collection of strings. |
| StringDictionary | Implements a hashtable with the key strongly typed to be a string rather than an object. |
| StringEnumerator | Supports a simple iteration over a StringCollection. |
Structures
| Structure | Description |
|---|---|
| BitVector32 | Provides a simple structure that stores Boolean values and small integers in 32 bits of memory. |
| BitVector32.Section | Represents an section of the vector that can contain a integer number. |
