Hi,

I'm not sure which is the best to use (if any). I need to temporarily store a small amount of objects (let's say a list of emergency contacts) before saving it to the database.

Should I use hastable or collection for this?

Thanks.

I would use a collection like a List<T> over a Hashtable as it's strongly typed and thus type safe.

var list = new List<EmergencyContact>();
list.Add(new EmergencyContact()); // works
list.Add(17); // Doesn't work because 17 is not a EmergencyContact

Hope this helps,

Imar
