Why Create a Class Derived from a Generic List (.NET)?
.net, c#, generics
Solution
The latter gives you the ability to have a function which takes a myList, instead of just a List. This also means that if the type of myList changes (perhaps to a sorted list) you don't have to change your code anywhere. So instead of declaring `List<myType>` everwhere, and then having to change them, if you had `MyList` objects everywhere, you're golden.
Its also a syntactic difference. Does myList have a list, or is it a list?
I would lean towards having a `MyList : List<MyType>` if it is used commonly throughout your program.
Problem
Whats is the difference between: List<MyType> myList; and myList : List<MyType> Its obvious that the first one is list and second one is a class. But my question is what's the advantage of second over first one.
