Hi All, I have to read a fixed length file which has about 52000 entries and store these entries into a database table. I have created a new type and it has properties which are mapped to the columns in the file. I have created a collection class to store all the instances. The collection class inherits from the CollectionBase class. Therefore, internally I am adding all the instances to the ArrayList.
I am just thinking about whether I should be creating the new type as a struct or a class i.e. value type or reference type. I am asking this just to check on the performance as it has very large number of entries in it. The type has some 19 fields out of which 2 are DateTime, 2 integers and one char, and rest are string values. Kindly suggest Thanks in advance, Regards, Girish Jain =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorĀ® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
