weird hashtable behaviour ..is a bug ?

Hi All,

I use a Hashtable in my program to keep unique items...at one instance I
need to repopulate this hashtable through a loop.
when starting repopulation hashtable.count () returns ZERO hence first item
gets added successfully but as soon as the control reaches top of foreach
loop
somehow a second item which indeed existed before repoulation started
appears in hashtable and count returns two hence this second item can not
add itself because of duplicate key.

I tried allocating a new object to hashtable as well as clear() before
repopulating but same weird behaviour.

At the end I have to check in repopulation code that if key existed then
dont add it ...my code worked for time
but just wondering....wh y why why?

Any thoughts ?

-TIA
Pankaj

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

I have an asp application that uses a javascript server side include to instantiate a component for generating our menu html. The component is pooled and worked perfectly on Windows 2000. On Windows 2003 the behaviour is quite weird. For non-ssl traffic the component is instantiated and I can call the getMenu() method. Once the page is rendered by the server the object is released back into the pool. There is a getLoginMenu() method that...

Hello, Here is some code: I'm thinking that when storing an object in an ArrayList or Hashtable that it clones the object. This can be shown like so: // key is a generated hashcode for this function (its unique). public struct Test {

Why can't I use an int for a key? Doing so evidently doesn't result in unique IDs being generated. I can convert the array into a delimited string, which works fine, but then I have a good deal of overhead parsing/casting the ints back. I'd obviously use a (jagged)multidimensional array of my Value type instead of a key:value setup, but the int sets aren't tightly grouped, so I'd have a lot (maybe 85%) of empty slots in the array. Still,...

Hi all, I have in the ASP.NET cache a Hashtable of items. What seems to be happening,is that some of the actual entries in the hashtable are being removed, perhaps under memory pressure, when what I would have expected is that the actual hashtable be removed. I cannot see an other reason that the items would be removed, other than by the Cache itself.

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
