what are pros and cons to use ArrayList instead generic collection in NET 2.0
Generic collections are type-safe – you cannot put a
stringinto aList<int>– and don’t require constant boxing/unboxing fromobject.ArrayListon the other hand can handle a mix of different elements – this can be a plus in certain cases.My take: typically I always use
List<T>– unless I really need something that can handleint, string, DateTimeetc. at the same time (very rare occasions).
