    most peeps have missed the point of the articles: Common data structures added in C#/.NET 2.0.

    The current framework (1.0 and 1.1) don't come with any standard data structures apart from ArrayList and Collections. 2.0 is the first version of the framework to "feature" these common structures. These articles are a good guide to the new additions. They also show generics in action. Which is also a new addition.
    Finally, there are some *practical* examples of how to use the structures in day to day scenarios.

    Certainly, no ground breaking theory here; then again that wasn't the point.

    My class browser shows:

    LinkedList
    Queue
    SortedList
    Stack
    TreeDictio nary

    in Systems.Collections.Generic - not extensive perhaps - but a little more than your post implies.

    unfortunately, NCollection is vaporware. another good source for C#v2 collections is Wintellect's Power Collections which seems to provide a good deal of what's missing.
