List or BusinessObjectCollection?

Question

Prior to C# generics, everyone would code collections for their business objects by creating a collection base that implemented IEnumerable

IE:

publi         


        

Answer 1

I would do this:

using BusinessObjectCollection = List;

This just creates an alias rather than a completely new type. I prefer it to using List directly because it leaves me free to change the underlying structure of the collection at some point in the future without changing code that uses it (as long as I provide the same properties and methods).
