Why is the Collection in the Microsoft.VisualBasic library? Why is it not in a more general location. Is there a reason Microsoft “hid” it from C#?
The
Collectionin the Microsoft.VisualBasic library is a throw-back to the older VB6 Collection.There is a
System.Collectionnamespace that you should probably look into for the basic .NET collection functionality you probably want.Also, it’s kind of worth mentioning that you CAN add a reference and make use of the System.VisualBasic namespace in your C# code. It’s just that, most of the time, there isn’t any need to do it (example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173136.aspx).
EDIT – Updated namespace – sorry!
