The BCL
provides a set of general-purpose data
structures such as
ArrayList
,
Dictionary
,
Hashtable
,
Queue
,
Stack
,
BitArray
, and more. Standardized design patterns
using common base types and public interfaces allow consistent
handling of collections throughout the BCL for both pre-defined and
user-defined collection types (see Section 3.4 in Chapter 3).
For more information, see the following namespaces:
System.Collections System.Collections.Bases
Important types in other namespaces include
System.Array.
