.Net Collections Deep Dive
The .NET framework provides a rich set of collection classes, crafted to help you address a multitude of tasks.

This session is devoted to introducing those of us, who don’t want to get out of our comfort zone, to some of the performance traps we might be silently slipping into when choosing inappropriate collections. We will explore some of the new collections available in .NET 4.0, and discuss how they have been optimized to manage certain individual tasks.
