Pardon, I wasn't clear enough..
Well, here is the example from my book:
Enum Status
Best = 100
Good = 90
Bad = 50
End Enum
So Status.Best can be used to mark someone's work. It's a nice
example, but most likely I will never use it in my place.
All our data is loaded from database, so if I would have some marking
system, most likely, I would have best, good and bad stored somewhere
in database. I think this is standard. But since enumeration exists,
someone is using it. I would like to see situations where enumeration
is the best solution.
Same with ArrayList. Here is the example from my notes:
Dim myArrayList As New ArrayList
myArrayList.Add("one")
myArrayList.Add("two")
myArrayList.Add("three")
Dim mystring As String = CType(myArrayList.Item(0), String)
Response.Write(mystring)
Why not use just regular array of string in this case? Again, in what
situation ArrayList is considered to be the best solution?
