ContainsKey with Custom Dictionary Keys

I'm using VB in ASP.NET 2.0. I've created a dictionary with a custom key
that contains 2 integers as properties. The key is in the dictionary, but
when I do a ContainsKey(myk ey) it always returns false. This works if the
key in the dictionary is just a single integer.

I a C# forum I found a reference to overriding an objects GetHashCode.
Because the ContainsKey. Anyone have an example of how to do this? Is this
the right approach?

thanks,

Frank

This has been bothering me for a while. Just want to find out if it just me or perhaps others have thought of this too: Why shouldn't the keyset of a dictionary be represented as a set instead of a list? I know that sets were introduced a lot later and lists/dictionaries were used instead but I think "the only correct way" now is for the dictionary keys and values to be sets. Presently {1:0,2:0,3:0}.keys() will produce but it could also...

I am coding a radix sort in python and I think that Python's dictionary may be a choice for bucket. The only problem is that dictionary is a mapping without order. But I just found that if the keys are numeric, the keys themselves are ordered in the dictionary. part of my code is like this: radix={} for i in range(256):

Hi I have a class that inherits from Generics Dictionary The string that is used for the key is passed thru-out my pgm and sometimes it has modifiers added to the key string that are used in the system.

Hi all, I'm trying to do something that should be really easy, but I can't think of an obvious way to do it.
