Hi Chris, thanks. Any reason why there isn't an equivalent in .NET ICollection[[^](http://.NET ICollection)]? I use Hashtable quite often... but I suppose there're application for multimap too...?

My guess is that the C# team wanted to keep it simple, that appears to be their overall ratonale. I love associative containers, I use them all the time.

MFC's CMap = HashTable. STL map = Red-Black Tree.
