Hi all,
I have the following code which should work. However, an exception (
InvalidOperatio nException) was thrown which doesn't make sense to me.
line 1: foreach (string name in _fieldMaps.Keys )
line 2: _fieldMaps[name] = 1;
where _fieldMaps is a hashtable containing (string, int) pairs internally.
Does anyone know why this exception is thrown? I tried debug it and found
the exception was thrown during the 2nd loop.
i.e. execution steps:
line1, line2, line1, EXCEPTION.
Thanks for any inputs here.

Calvin,
I would think that the second key in the hashtable is not a string, but
rather, another type. Have you debugged the code to see what the key is and
the type? If it can not be cast to a string, then this is what you will
get.
Hope this helps.

Hi Calvin,
You cannot change the collection inside foreach loop. That exception is
thrown by IEnumerator.Mov eNext method.
If you want ot modify the collection dont't use enumartaors (objects that
implement IEnumerator interface) Foreach internally uses enumerators to
iterate through collections.
Use another kind of loop. *for* and *while* both will do.

No, it shouldn't.

The key is to look at the message in the exception:
"Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute."
Basically, you can't modify a collection while you're enumerating it.
From the docs for IEnumerable:
<quote>
An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains
unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding,
modifying or deleting elements, the enumerator is irrecoverably
invalidated and the next call to MoveNext or Reset throws an
InvalidOperatio nException.
</quote>
Now, although you haven't *actually* changed the collection of keys,
you've changed the collection it's modelling (which includes the
values), which is why you're getting the problem.

No - if the key wasn't a string, the OP would have got an
InvalidCastExce ption, not an InvalidOperatio nException.

You can't alter the hashtable in a foreach loop -- the enumerator becomes
invalid, and then on your next
enum.MoveNext() (which is generated by the c# compiler from your
foreach(...) code) the InvalidOperatio nException is thrown.
What you _can_ do is place an object in the hashtable, and alter values of
that object:
class Holder{
public int SomeField;
public Holder(int val){ SomeField = val;}
}
....
Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
h.Add("bob", new Holder(1));
h.Add("charlie" , new Holder(2));
h.Add("jim", new Holder(3));
foreach(string name in h.Keys)
{
((Holder)h[name]).SomeField = 4;
}

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
