Class
Array
- in the
System
namespace
The base class of all native C# arrays
Contains lots of useful method - Still useful
Class
ArrayList
- in
System.Collections
Replaced by
List<T>
in
System.Collections.Generic
Class
Hashtable
- in System.Collections
Replaced by
Dictionary<K, V>
in
System.Collections.Generic
Interface
ICollection
-
System.Collections
Contains very few members -
Count
and
CopyTo
ICollection<T>
is more comprehensive -
Add
,
Remove
,
Count
,
CopyTo
,
and more
Class
BitArray
Of non-generic nature - Still very useful
Can be used for simple simulation of set of integers
