collection in the .net framework
We would like to know the best practices for using collection in the .net framework. We have the following two collections, what are the pros and cons for each. One is a non generic collection and one is generic colleciton. Would it be best pracices to use the generic colleciton all the time?
public class PhoneCollection : CollectionBase
{
public void Add(PhoneNumber obj)
{
this.List.Add(obj);
}
public void Remove(PhoneNumber obj)
{
this.List.Remove(obj);
}
}
public class PhoneCollection : List<PhoneNumber>
{
}
public class PhoneCollection : CollectionBase
{
public void Add(PhoneNumber obj)
{
this.List.Add(obj);
}
public void Remove(PhoneNumber obj)
{
this.List.Remove(obj);
}
}
public class PhoneCollection : List<PhoneNumber>
{
}
