Whats the efficient, generic version of BitArray?

System.Collections class are obsolete

Peter Ritchie's MVP Blog — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 19:42:44 GMT

Collection classes like ArrayList, SortedList, Stack and Hashtable will shortly be obsoleted (i.e. the

Michael,

You can use and Array or a List<Boolean> to get the functionality of a BitArray. However, if by efficient you mean that we don't use unnecessary bits to store the data - that solution is not efficient. For Silverlight we decided that the need for BitArray is minimal and the workaround are decent enough. In the big framework you can still use BitArray if you have a need for efficiency or use generics if you don't.

Michael, If you're not using more than 32 bits, you might be able to use BitVector32.

1. Are there any plans to obsolete non-generic collections in future versions of .NET Framework?

2. Is Silverlight a branch of .net framework code or you have a single source code tree?

Inbar Gazit — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 18:37:27 GMT

lexp,

1. Not at this point. Check the blog often to be updated on our latest plans.

2. We have a single source code and we build it separately for Silverlight from the big framework so that we only have parts of it in Silverlight. The rest should be the same in both frameworks for the most part.

Can you make it so List<T> is completely implemented?

The two I miss are:

List<T> CTOR that takes an IEnumerable

and the List<T> AddRange.

If not already there, it would be nice to have an Observable<T> collection as well so we can know when the collection changed through an event.

Jfo,

I'm not sure why you think these are not implemented in Silverlight but this is not the case. List<T> has the same constructors as in 2.0/3.5 and also has the AddRange method implemented. Please take a second look to make sure.

As for Observable<T>, that's an interesting idea...

You're right I think the bug is in agclr.dll - whoever owns that. Can you file it?

Title: List<T> CTOR and AddRange do not work with VisualCollection

The issue seems to be with their visual collection.

In Orcas Beta 1, Silverlight Alpha 1.1

Create new silverlight project

In Page.xaml add a <Rectangle Fill="red"/> to the <Canvas>

In Page.xaml.cs, add the following line to the Page_Loaded event:

List<Visual> secondList = new List<Visual>(this.Children);

Turn on Debug -> Catch Exceptions

Result:

Not supported exception

agclr.dll!MS.Internal.Collection<System.Windows.Media.Visual>.CopyTo(System.Windows.Media.Visual[] array = {System.Windows.Media.Visual[1]}, int index = 0) + 0x2b bytes

mscorlib.dll!System.Collections.Generic.List<System.Windows.Media.Visual>.List(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Windows.Media.Visual> collection = {System.Windows.Media.VisualCollection}) + 0x14f bytes

> SilverlightProject1!SilverlightProject1.Page.Page_Loaded(object o = {SilverlightProject1.Page}, System.EventArgs e = {System.EventArgs}) Line 23 + 0x20 bytes C#

[Managed to Native Transition]

agclr.dll!MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(System.IntPtr unmanagedObj = 52477992, string objectName = "System.Windows.Controls.Canvas", System.IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs = 0, string objectNameArgs = null, string eventName = "M@1") + 0x281 bytes

[Appdomain Transition]

[Native to Managed Transition]

Expected:

Contents of VisualCollection copied to secondList.

Also should work for secondList.AddRange();
