.Net Collections Deep Dive
The .NET framework provides a rich set of collection classes, crafted to help you address a multitude of tasks. But, let’s face it, we rarely use this vast array to the scope that we potentially could. Instead we habitually fall back on old favorites like List. This session is devoted to introducing those of us, who don’t want to get out of our comfort zone, to some of the performance traps we might be silently slipping into when choosing inappropriate collections. We will explore some of the new collections available in .NET 4.0, and discuss how they have been optimized to manage certain individual tasks. By the end of this session, you’ll no longer be reaching for your favorite collection out of habit, instead you’ll have your finger on the pulse of .NET collections, ready to utilize the appropriate option for the task in hand.
