Properties: Cmd As Integer Data As String iCmdID As Integer Idata As Integer SocketHandle As Integer Private CmdQueue(0) As clsCommand CmdQueue(0) = New clsCommand Data is added using the Append Method. My question is, how can I quickly and easily find out if at least one of the elements contain the data that is about to be added - thereby avoiding duplicating data in the queue? The only way I can think of is to search element 0 to Ubound. But this might take quite a while. Since this task is taking away from other parts of the program (it is active, not a passive desktop user type application) I don't want to waste time. However having multiple elements of the same data slows down operation too - the data is sent via TCPIP. Also, when the data is sent, the elements sent are destroyed. For i = n downto 1 //Remove the index CmdQueue.Remove(i) Next Any ideas would be appreciated!
