This section is a general repositry for VB algorithms and techniques for speeding up common operations.

• Double Linked-Lists and Hashing:
  • Double-Linked List
  • About Hashing and a Powerful Hash Generation Algorithm
  • Double-Linked List with Hashing
• Collection for access by index. Demonstrates a technique for speeding up insertion/deletion from an array.
• Skip-List. A collection which automatically sorts elements as they are added and uses a probabilistic indexing scheme for rapid access to members.
• String Splitter class - splits a string according to multiple delimiters and includes native (non-collection based) For...Each enumeration support.
• Build long strings quickly. Appending many elements to a string can be very slow in VB. If you know your about to append many elements, then pre-allocating memory and accessing it through CopyMemory works in a fraction of the time.
• Binary Search
• Shell Sort
