How can I shorten List>>?

Question

I want to store an list of key value pair lists in a lightweight structure. This seems too cumbersome. What\'s better? Does List> add

Answer 1

Both List and Dictionary are pretty efficient, so I wouldn't think twice about using them. (Unless you're going to be storing a gazillion dictionaries in your list, but that's not very common.)

If you think that List> is too much to type, you can say in your preamble

using LoDSS = System.Collections.Generic.List>;

Note that this is just an alias no subclassing needed.
