Best string container: StringCollection, Collection, List, ArrayList, ..?

Question

What is the most suitable container just for strings holding in some array with non-predetermined upper boundary, which length is unknown on it\'s creation.

For simp

Answer 1

For what you need, List is probably the most versatile. StringCollection was handy in 1.1, when (without generics) you needed specific classes for typed collections. Collection is handy if you want to subclass it to provide validation etc.

Either way, in 3.5, LINQ will provide lots of additional methods for them - but without LINQ, List has more features (Find, Sort, etc)
