Stack implements A Last in First Out collection (LIFO) - the last thing you push on the stack is the first thing you get back. A Queuse implements a First In First Out collection (FIFO) - the first thing you push in is the first thing out. A hashtable is a Key/Value pair similar to a VB 6 collection but based around hash codes for retreival. The bestplace to look for more information is under ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfSystemCollections.htm
