IDictionary Interface

Represents a collection of associated keys and values.

[Visual Basic]
Public Interface IDictionary
   Implements ICollection, IEnumerable
[C#]
public interface IDictionary : ICollection, IEnumerable
[C++]
public __gc __interface IDictionary : public ICollection,
   IEnumerable

[JScript] In JScript, you can use the interfaces in the NGWS frameworks, but you cannot define your own.

Classes that Implement IDictionary

Class Description
Dictionary Represents a collection of associated keys and values.
Hashtable Represents a collection of associated keys and values that are organized based on the hash code of the key.
Configuration.HttpConfigurationRecord [To be supplied.]
SortedList Represents a collection of associated keys and values, which are sorted by the keys and are accessible both by key and by index.

Remarks

The IDictionary class is an abstract base class for collections of associated keys and values.

Each association must have a unique non-null key, but the value of an association can be any object reference, including a null reference. The IDictionary interface allows the contained keys and values to be enumerated, but it does not imply any particular sort order.
