Using ASP.NET 2.0-List Class in your code

You can use the System.Collections.Generic.List class to embody a strongly typed list of objects that may be accessed by index. The class provides methods to search, sort, and manipulate the contents of the list. The Microsoft documentation describes the List class as the generic equivalent of the ArrayList class.

Methods of list Class:

Add: Allows you to add an object to the end of the List.


AddRange: Adds the contents of one collection to the end of the List.


BinarySearch: Uses a binary search algorithm to locate a specific element in the sorted List or a portion of it.


Clear: Clears the contents of the List (i.e., everything is deleted).


Contains: Determines if the List contains a specific element.


ConvertAll: Converts all List elements to another type.


CopyTo: Copies the contents of the List to an array.


Exists: Determines if the List contains element(s) matching a condition.


Find: Searches for an element that matches certain conditions.


FindAll: Locates all elements that match certain conditions.


FindIndex: Locates index of element that matches a condition.


FindLast: Searches for the last occurrence of an element that matches a certain condition.


FindLastIndex: Searches for the last occurrence of an element that matches a certain condition and returns its index.


ForEach: Performs a specific action on each List item.


GetEnumerator: Returns an enumerator that iterates through the List.


GetRange: Returns a subset of elements from the List.


IndexOf: Returns the first index of element that matches a value.


LastIndexOf: Returns the last index of element that matches a value.


Remove: Removes the first occurrence of a specific element from the List.


RemoveAll: Removes all elements from the List that match the conditions.


RemoveAt: Removes element from the List with specific index.


RemoveRange: Removes group of elements from the List.


Reverse: The order of List elements is reversed.


Sort: Sorts the order of List elements by key value.
