Generics

[orsula]

Hi,

I'm looking for a generic container that can be dynamically added with
elements and maintain their order. When looping with for/foreach on
this container the elements should appear in the order of the
additions. Can you please tell me which container should I look into?

Thanks

The generic List<...> maintains order. Iterating with either 'for' or
'foreach' will yield the insertion ordering. Note that the generic List also
has an Insert method - this would only make sense if an ordering existed.

In general, almost anything that implements IList<T> should do that,
since it's an interface for positional access. To name a few actual
types - List<T>, LinkedList<T>, Collection<T>. Of all these, List<T>
is a typical default choice for the lack of any specific performance
or size requirements.
