A collection in .NET defines a group of related data or elements. Elements can be variables of simple data types such as int, float, or String or can be complex data variables such as a class or structure. While working with .NET applications, we often need to work with such collections. We can execute operations such as these:
- Creating a collection
- Adding an element to a collection
- Reading elements present in the collection
- Removing elements present in the collection
In this section, we will understand what the different types of collections available in .NET are and how programmers can execute operations on them.
