[solved] Using .NET classes

[amokoura]

I saw Weaponx mentioned a trick to use .NET classes in AutoIt. In his example some Collection class was used. The idea is thrilling: instead of building some weak structures in AutoIt, how about using just some .NET classes. There might be many possibilities, but the Collections fascinate me the most. I just don't like AutoIt arrays and array funcs.

Question: Could there be any drawbacks in using .NET classes for making AutoIt scripts in steroids?

Of course a small script requiring a full .NET package is sort of a bummer. Let's just assume every pc where the script is run has the framework.

Thanks!

Especially this link was helpful http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc162521.aspx

It's just great. Instead of this:

For i = (UBound(arrNames) - 1) to 0 Step -1
    For j= 0 to i
        If UCase(arrNames(j)) > 
          UCase(arrNames(j+1)) Then
            strHolder = arrNames(j+1)
            arrNames(j+1) = arrNames(j)
            arrNames(j) = strHolder
        End If
    Next
Next

I can have this:

DataList.Sort()
