C#Collections: A Detailed Presentation dives deep into theoperations of the .NET Collections framework.

Materialcovered includes:

• Explanation of collection framework inheritance hierarchy
• Explanation of the differences between collection types and the performance characteristics of their underlying data structures
• Clearly explained code examples showing implementation of stacks, ring buffers, queues, doubly-linked circular list, and red-black trees
• How to properly implement important collection-related interfaces including IEnumerable, IEnumerable, IComparable, IComparable, IDictionary>, etc.
• The use of generics to create custom generic classes.
• Explanation and demonstration of generic constraints including the default constructor constraint, reference type constraint, value type constraint, inheritance constraint, and naked constraint
• Detailed explanations of single- and multidimensional arrays
• How to use the Array class to sort and manipulate arrays
• How to implement natural ordering in user-defined data types by implementing the IComparable and IComparable interfaces
• How to implement custom ordering for user-defined data types via custom comparers
• How to implement custom XML serialization for complex user-defined collections
• How to allow a custom collection to be iterated with a foreach statement
• How to implement named iterators for custom ordering
• How to implement the Weak Event Listener pattern
• How to implement one-way data bindings between collections and GUI components
• How to implement two-way data bindings between collections and GUI components
• How to implement the ICollectionChanged and IPropertyChanged interfaces
• How to respond to CollectionChanged and PropertyChanged events
• Detailed treatment of threading and how to create threadsafe collections
• How to use the lock keyword to coordinate multithread access to code segments
• How to persist collections to disk or send collections over the network
• ...and much, much more
