A .NET List<T> is a staple of programming in C#. It's type-safe, so you don't have to bother with casting or boxing. You specify your generic type and can be sure that only objects of that primitive or class (or ones that inherit from them) can be in your list. Lists implement the standard list and enumerable interfaces (IList and IEnumerable), although you get more methods on the concrete list implementation, for example, adding a range. You can also use Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) expressions to easily query them, which is trivial when using fluent lambda functions. However, although LINQ is often an elegant solution to a problem, it can lead to performance issues, as it is not always optimized.
A list is really just an enhanced, ...
