System.Collecti ons.Queue vs. System.Collecti ons.Generics.Qu eue

Is there any need for "System.Collect ions.Queue" any more? OK, .Net
made the mistake to start without generics, but that is fixed now.

Languages without support for generics could use
"System.Collect ions.Generics.Q ueue<Object>" instead of
"System.Collect ions.Queue". So everytime those languages use a
generic, they just use them with <object>.

I don't think having two different sets of collections is a good idea.

Yes, for backward compatibility.

Hi, Does System.Collections.Generic.Queue not have a Synchronized method because it is already in effect synchronized, or is the Synchronized functionality missing from System.Collections.Generic.Queue? Putting it another way can I safely replace a System.Collections.Queue.Synchronized(myUnSynchronizedQueue) with a System.Collections.Generic.Queue while porting a working 2003 project? Thanks,

I ran into a problem a while back when attempting to convert existing .NET 1.1 based code to .NET 2.0 using Generic collections rather than Hashtable, ArrayList, etc. I ran into an issue because the old code allowed me to do what basically was the following assignment: class SomeClass { private Queue q; SomeClass(Queue q)

I find the Generic collection classes really usefull, so usefull in fact that I do not usually use the old style collections like ArrayList and Hashtable. In fact if I did need a collection of potentially anything I would use a List(of object) rather than an ArrayList. Are there any occaisions where the old collections are preferable? Guy

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
