Hash Table in C#

[rahultaing]

Is there any Hash Table in C# and if yes then how do we use it? How do we add and how do we look up in hash table?

Yes, class Hashtable Hashtable hash = new HashTable(); // Adding value. hash["key"] = 0; // Getting value. MessageBox.Show(hash["key"].ToString()); You can also access data through properties "Keys" and "Values". Best regards, Alexey.

Hi, yes of course, by using the "Hashtable" class. Hashtable myHashTable = new Hashtable(); to instantiate a Hashtable object. myHashTable.Add("theKey", "theValue"); to add an element myHashTable["theKey"]...; to retrieve a "value" usig its "key" myHashTable.Keys; to retrieve the Keys Collection property and myHashTable.Values; to retrieve the Values Collection property Regards. -- modified at 5:03 Friday 14th April, 2006

By the way, you can look up the hashtable by Hashtable.Contains() Hashtable.ContainsKey() Hashtable.ContainsValue as well.
