Introduction:
In this article,i am going to explain about how to use and perform generic collections in asp.net 2.0 applications.

Main:
Generics provide many of the benefits of strongly typed collections, but they can work with any type that meets the requirements.
using generics can improve performance by reducing the number of casting operations required,

List:– ArrayList, StringCollection

Dictionary:– Hashtable,Listdictionary, hybridDictionary, OrderedDictionary, NameValueCollection, stringDictionary

Queue:–Queue

Stack:–Stack

SortedList :– SortedList

Collection :– CollectionBase

ReadOnlyCollection:– ReadOnlyCollectionBase

see the below simple examble,

In this examble,i am going to try to populate data’s into listbox using generics,
