ArrayList -> SortedList -> SortedList. Right ?

Saikek

Hello everyone! I need to store such data: Partitions(ex: english), Authors(ex: Shakespeare), Books(ex:Otello). Ierarchy is Partitions->Authors->Books. What is the best way to store data ? I used a ArrayList -> SortedList -> SortedList and serialization. I don't want to use SQL, because it cannot be installed on each computer, where this program will be used.

For storing it, I would recommend XML. For displaying it, you can go for a TreeView.

Do you mean XML, you mean serialization ? What kind of structure should i use? Is isn't it wery expensive to use a->s->s->? The number of elements won't exceed 1000.

Dude, I thought your data looked something like this

English
Twain
Tom Sawyer
Huck Finn
Orczy
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Dawkins
The God Delusion
The Selfish Gene
Hindi
Premchand
Panch Parmeshwar

XML is the best way to store this.

<yourRootTag>
<language name="English">
<author name="Twain">
<title>Tom Sawyer</title>
<title>Huck Finn</title>
</author>
Other authors go here...
</language>
Other languages go here...
</yourRootTag>

Cheers, Vıkram.
