@liviu: hashSet are great, but they are avaliable only in .net 3.5, array are avaliable since 1.0 . If you need Set semantics and much more, even in .NET 2.0), wintellect powercollection are really a good choiche.

@Amar: You are right both of the measure are done in millisecond.

In your first example, you quote “10.200 milliseconds”, and in your second example, you quote “2.392 seconds” — I think your units are incorrect

Generics are not .net 1.1

Hi, I bet that if you use a HashSet it will be a little better…
Don’t be stuck in .net 1.1 structures

You are right, I’m so used to Array.BinarySearch because quite often I work with NHibernate that returns me an IList that have not BinarySearch. Now Even when I use the List I forget that the List have binarySearch implemented.

Thanks for pointing it out.

You don’t need to use an array to do a binary search, because List has BinarySearch methods as well. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-u.....7fxsh.aspx
