Collection library

[agraham]

I've had this library lying around waiting for a help file for some time, so I've decided to get it done and out of the way.

The .NET platform implements several useful collection classes of which only ArrayList is included with Basic4PPC. This library adds some others, Stack, Queue, Hashtable and SortedList, that are very useful in some circumstances.

It requires .NET 2.0 and will run on both desktop and device. See the help file for further details.

EDIT : Source code for merging dll posted. Put it in the Basic4pp Desktop\Libraries folder.

EDIT:- Version 1.2 posted with enhanced array and ArrayList functions. Help, demos, library and source for merging are in the zip. See post #6 for details.

Thank you agraham

I'm sure that this library will be very useful for many of us.

Collections version 1.2 now posted with two additional objects, ArraysEx and ArrayListsEx.

Both ordinary arrays and the more specialised ArrayList are capable of some functions that are not exposed in B4ppc. This library now provides access to additional functionality for both.

The new ArraysEx object in the library allows you, along with some other things, to sort, search and copy normal arrays.

The new ArrayListsEx object in the library, along with some other things, lets you more easily transfer data between arrays and ArrayLists.

This library should work on desktop and device, but requires .NET 2.0
