Vista - System.Collections.Generic.List<int> myList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<int>(100);

System.Collections.Generic.List<int> myList = new
System.Collections.Generic.List<int>(100);

Does this preallocate 100 integers?

Also, is there any way to preallocate an array of objects all at once?

MyOb[] al= new MyOb[100];

for (int z = 0; z < nCount; z++)

{

al[z] = new MyOb();

}



Can i avoid all these new and just allocate an array of MyOb all at once?

It creates a list with a capacity of 100. This, in reality, creates an array
with 100 elements in it. Because the type is int (a value type) it does
pre-allocate 100 ints.

I you already have an array of values you can pass it into the List<T>
constructor; but it will copy the values.
