- Sort arrays easily and efficiently in .NET
- Sorting arrays is a common programming task, and the new utility interface in .NET makes it a breeze. The primary benefit of this technique is that you can decouple the sorting class from the contents of the array. To demonstrate, I’ll keep it simple and sort an array of strings...

- Create custom class interfaces in .NET
- Implementing the interfaces that come with .NET allows you to deploy your classes with standardized functionality that other developers expect. In my previous article, I introduced class interfaces and compared them to abstract base classes. I also described the most important .NET interfaces and created a class that implements the...

- Class interfaces play a key role with inheritance
- A class interface is like a kind of contract. If a class implements an interface, it means that it—and any derived classes that inherit from the initial class—must have implementations for the members whose signatures are included in the implementation specification. So if you know that a class implements an...

- Learn the pros and cons of working with SortedLists in VB.NET
- If you need to maintain a collection of objects that is sorted every time an item is added or removed, consider using VB.NET's SortedLists. In this tip, Irina Medvinskaya outlines the advantages and disadvantages of using a SortedList. SortedLists come in handy when developers need to maintain a...

- Learn the pros and cons of working with SortedLists in VB.NET
- It would be nice to know how it's implementedIt would be nice if we knew how the "array" of keys is implemented in this class (really an array, a hash-table, a linked list, a tree?) Also I hope it's not actually "sorted" after each insertion/deletion, but rather there should...
