Hi All,

I was wondering if .NET Framework contains an array function which searches for duplicate value or string. At this time I am using my own functions/methods but they are probably not the most effective.

Can someone help me with this question.

Hi there,

Take a look at the System.Collections and other related namespaces (System.Collections.ObjectModel and System.Collections.Specialized).

These namespaces contain a number of collections; one of which that may serve your goals. For example, a Dictionary might do the trick; where each value is stored by a unique key.

P.S. No need to post Test or Bump messages. Things generally work fine over here, and if someone knows an answer to your question, you'll get it. Otherwise you won't....

Thanks Imar.

I will take a look to these Namespaces to see if I can replace some or all of my own written array operation functions.

Imar, Thanks.
The System.Collections and other related namespaces (System.Collections.ObjectModel and System.Collections.Specialized) did not help me achieve what I want.

I revised my array functions which have now very good performance.
