Generic Lists

Tags: Microsoft .Net Development
Technorati Tags: Microsoft .Net Development

I'm sure this is an obvious one, but this is a nice use of the new List with Generics:

List<DirectDebitsRequestPayment> payments = new List<DirectDebitsRequestPayment>();

            DirectDebitsRequestPayment payment = new DirectDebitsRequestPayment();
            payment.Amount = new decimal();
            payment.FromAccountName = string.Empty;

payments.Add(payment);

request.Payment = payments.ToArray();

instead of sticking with Arrays using:

DirectDebitsRequestPayment[] payments = new DirectDebitsRequestPayment[1];

            DirectDebitsRequestPayment payment = new DirectDebitsRequestPayment();
            payment.Amount = new decimal();
            payment.FromAccountName = string.Empty;
            payments[0] = payment;
