    Dynamically creating and naming collections

    Hey,

    Does anyone know how to create and name collections dynamically? I am
    writing some vb.net (VB2005) code which requires me to create an
    unknown number
    of collections and then add them to a master collection so I can
    operate on them in a loop.

    Thanks,

    Paul.

      Right off hand, it sounds like you want an XML DOM. But without more
      information, it's hard to say. What, exactly, are you trying to do?
      Can you provide a little more information?

          Paul,

          What about using a Dictionary to store each individual collection?
          The key in the Dictionary would be the name and the value would be the
          actual collection.

              How do I create a new collection in the code? The answer is probably
              simple.

              Currently I am using:

              Private Sub Form_Load
              Dim Collection1 As Collection

              Collection1 = New Collection

              Collection1.Add (Class1, Key1)

              End SubI would like to be able to create new collections when an event
              is triggered. Is there some kind of CreateCollectio n method I can use?

                  Hi,

                  The following example creates 10 new List collections and adds them to
                  a Dictionary. The List collections are keyed by a String
                  representation of the numbers 1 through 10.

                  Private m_Dictionary as New Dictionary(Of String, List(Of SomeObject))

                  Public Sub Foo()

                  For i as Integer = 0 To 10
                  m_Dictionary.Ad d(i.ToString(), New List(Of SomeObject))
                  Next

                  End Sub

                  Brian
