Nongeneric collections and generic collections are the two broad categories of what in .NET?

Edit

ArrayList, BitArray, Hashtable, Queue, SortedList, and Stack from System.Collections are examples of what?

Edit

What is the process of explicitly assigning a value type to a System.Object variable, which allocates a new object on the heap and copies the value type's value into that instance?

Edit

Why are generics in C# more performant (compared to nongeneric collections)?

Edit

Why are generics in C# type-safe (compared to nongeneric collections)?

Edit

When you see something like List<T>, what is the pair of angled brackets with a token within called?

Edit

What syntax is this an example of? List<int> myGenericList = new List<int> { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };

Edit

This example is an example blending what two syntaxes of the C# language? List<Point> myListOfPoints = new List<Point> { new Point { X = 2, Y = 2 }, new Point { X = 3, Y = 3 }, new Point { X = 4, Y = 4 } };

Edit

What is probably the most frequently used type from the System.Collections.Generic namespace?

Edit

Edit

What namespace are nongeneric collections typically found in .NET?

What are the two types of broad categories of data that the .NET Core platform supports?

Edit

What mechanism does C# provide to store the data of a value type within a reference variable?

Edit

What is it called when you assign a .NET value type to a System.Object variable?

Edit

What can you use to avoid the issues of boxing/unboxing performance penalties and lack of type safety of the collections in previous .NET versions?

Edit

What generic interface defines general characteristics (e.g., size, enumeration, and thread safety) for all generic collection types?

Edit

What generic interface allows a generic collection object to represent its contents using key-value pairs?

Edit

What namespace is the generic List<T> class from in .NET?

Edit

What is a way you can read the symbol <T> of generic items in .NET?

Edit

What notation is the telltale sign of any generic item in .NET?

Edit

What class from the System.Collections.Generic namespace represents a collection that maintains items using a last-in, first out manner?

Edit

What are two members defined by Stack<T> (that you might expect)?

Edit

What is the most frequently used type in System.Collections.Generic?

Edit

Edit

What generic interface provides the base interface for the abstraction of sets in .NET?

Edit

What generic interface provides behavior to add, remove, and index items in a sequential list of objects in .NET?

Edit

What member of Queue<T> is used to add an object to the end of the Queue<T>?

Edit

What member of Queue<T> is used to return the object at the beginning of the Queue<T> without removing it?

Edit

What type in System.Collections.ObjectModel represents a dynamic data collection that has the ability to inform external objects when its contents have changed in some way?
