Looking for a comparison of Collections and related storage classes

Is there an online site where the various methods of storing arrays of
classes and variables are explained? For example, I'd love a grid that
showed the various pluses and minues of an Array, ArrayList, Collection,
HashTable, Queue, Stack, etc ...

Thanks!

This link should give you an overview...but it's a broad (yet
straightforward) subject.
http://www.zdnet.com.au/builder/prog...0265230,00.htm

An arraylist for instance is in fact a collection. You can store any object
you want in one.

A hashtable is a specialty type that allows you to relate a stored value to
a key...this facilitates finding things quickly without iteration and with
knowing the item's position.

Queue's a first in first out objects and stacks are the reverse.

Comparing a HashTable to a Queue is not apples to apples b/c they are used
totally differently. I often use Hash Tables and never remove the items.
On the other hand, I'd never use a Queue or stack and leave everything
sitting on them.

I'd recommend doing a google search on .NET Collections, Strongly Typed
Collections (which are much cooler) etc.

Good Luck, and if you have any particular questions, please let me know.
