I must say that C# has very good functions for everything.

Arrays sucks hard.

You should really start using generics like List<T> which are type-safe and MORE FASTER Smile

lol i remember this rant on Unk Tongue

It went on for like 4 pages didn't it but ... none the less arrays are useful

In the last discussion I started about generics it just took one page to let them know that they should really use generics instead of arrays.

Posting several links to MSDN where MVPs suggest you to use generics is really useful Wink

Arrays are fundamentals of most programming languages, and should be learn to get a better understanding on how generics are created.

Imagine if all you knew where generics and you were just hired at a company, and all they use is c and pascal. Where would you be without arrays?

Wow forgot about this thread D: Shouldn't of posted my strings and arrays example this one surpasses mine by far

codecaine · 12-16-2009, 09:45 AM

lol Well it is always nice to see didn't coding styles. We can always learn from each other.
