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
