What is a collection?
- Thread starter yumbelie
- Start date
From MSDN:
"A Collection object is an ordered set of items that can be referred to as a unit. The Collection object provides a convenient way to refer to a related group of items as a single object. The items, or members, in a collection need only be related by the fact that they exist in the collection. Members of a collection don't have to share the same data type."
A common example is a form's Controls collection. It can contain textboxes, labels, frames, images, etc.. All are different, and may operate separatly, but are related because they are a control, or object, on the form and therefore in the collection.
You can also create your own collection in order to refer to any group of objects at once or conveniently (via a loop).
