You need to be a little more specific... In my mind a collection is
sort of a generic term for a container that holds a group of objects.
Arrays, in their way, are a collection. Hashtables, ArrayList, Queue,
Stack, etc - all collections. Some of them have different storage or
indexing scheames, but all are a collection of one sort another:)

ArrayList inherits from System.Collections, so in fact is just that.

Hi Chun,

Here are they (as far as I know) all except the visualbasic.collection

The big difference with the others is that it start with a 1 index and is
confussing.
(and it is not inheriting from Ilist)

Well, after thinking about it: it is not a fu***ing manual, it is quite
good. So, I should write: RTM! ;-)
