How to create a StringCollection in C# (original) (raw)
Last Updated : 27 Feb, 2019
StringCollection() constructor is used to initializing a new instance of the StringCollection class. StringCollection class is a new addition to the .NET Framework class library that represents a collection of strings. StringCollection class is defined in the System.Collections.Specialized namespace.Syntax:
public StringCollection ();
Example 1:
csharp `
// C# Program to illustrate how // to create a StringCollection using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;
class Geeks {
// Main Method
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
// sc is the StringCollection object
// StringCollection() is the constructor
// used to initializes a new
// instance of the StringCollection class
StringCollection sc = new StringCollection();
// Count property is used to get the
// number of elements in StringCollection
// It will give 0 as no elements
// are present currently
Console.WriteLine("Number of elements: "+
sc.Count);
}
}
`
Output:
Number of elements: 0
Example 2:
csharp `
// C# Program to illustrate how // to create a StringCollection using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;
class Geeks {
// Main Method
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
// sc is the StringCollection object
// StringCollection() is the constructor
// used to initializes a new
// instance of the StringCollection class
StringCollection sc = new StringCollection();
Console.Write("Before Add Method: ");
// Count property is used to get the
// number of elements in StringCollection
// It will give 0 as no elements
// are present currently
Console.WriteLine(sc.Count);
Console.Write("After Add Method: ");
// Adding elements in StringCollection
sc.Add("A");
sc.Add("B");
sc.Add("C");
sc.Add("D");
sc.Add("E");
// Count property is used to get the
// number of elements in ld
Console.WriteLine(sc.Count);
}
}
`
Output:
Before Add Method: 0 After Add Method: 5
