How to simplify several similar collection files in VB

Question

Hi all, I'm new in programming.

In VB2005, I have some object files, like a.vb, b.vb, c.vb.. each of them has different properties.

Then I have the collection files, for example: as.vb is the collection of a, bs.vb is the collection of b... each has mostly the same content, like add, item, count...

So now I would like to know, is that if it's possible to simplify these redundant collections, like integrating all into one single collection file but can be used by all the object files.

Thank u very much

You can achieve this using Generics in .NET 2.0 onwards.
