Sorted array component

Does .net have a sorted collection component similar to the C++ std::set ? I
am not interested in a dictionary object, just a sorted collection where I
can pass in a delegate to do the sort. I am also not interested in calling
ArrayList's Sort() as I want the collection to automatically maintain its
sort order when objects are inserted into it.

I looked in the System.Collections and System.Collections.Specialized but
did not find a sorted collection class which was not also a dictionary.

Hello Edward,

There is System.Collections.SortedList... The "delegate" you talk about would
be the implementation of the IComparable[1] interface on the objects you
are stuffing into that collection.
