Hi!
What i want to do, is to put an ArrayList into a Hashtable. So i can access
the ArrayList fast over the key-indexing of the Hashtable.
What i did is to put the ArrayList into the Hashtable
hash[key] = arraylist
When i get the ArrayList back
ArrayList array = (ArrayList)hash[key]
But when i try to access array (for example array.Count) i get a null
reference exception.
Can someone help me out of there.

Matthias,
The only way that this could happen (assuming that hash is the same
hashtable in both instances) is if the key that was used to fetch the
ArrayList is different than the key that was used to get the ArrayList. Are
you sure they are the same?
Also, are you sure that nothing modified hash or the value pointed to by
key between the time that you set it and the time you try to access it?

Did you ever actually initialise arraylist to have a reference to an
actual instance of ArrayList, rather than just being null?
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.

This can happen if the object which is your key overides Equals() and
returns false erroneously.
Try this:
bool valid = hash.ContainsKe y(key);
What is "valid" - if its false - then it's not finding a match to your key.

Hi@all!
I have a app (c#) where i load up a external dll (managed code from c#)
with a small arraylist and hashtable in two routines (about 40000 objects
in each arraylist and hashtable).
If i load the dll everything is fine and when i load then the objects into
an Hashtable or Arraylist of the main program it freezes 5MB each which i
don't get free. The weird think is, when i reload the Tables a second time
on a new local variable...

I would like to create a 2D string list (2D ArrayList ???). I would like to

Hi Everyone,
I have a stucture below stored in an arraylist and I want to check user's
input (point x,y) to make sure there is no duplicate point x,y entered
(string label can be duplicated). Is there a way to compare the new input
point x,y without having to a loop and compare the whole object in the array
list. I can't use the indexof method because it would compare the whole
object.

Hi,
Here is the scenario. I have a list of IDs and there are multiple threads
trying to add/remove/read from this list. I can do in C#
1. create Hashtable hList = Hashtable.Synchronized(new Hashtable());
2. create ArrayList aList = ArrayList.Synchronized(new ArrayList());
3. create a string sList = "";
For 1 and 2, since the list is synced, many threads can directly

Hi
I am having a problem understanding the exact advantages of using an
ArrayList over a Hashtable in any situation.
In most areas of an application I am working on, lookup needs to be
fast. If I use a hashtable
Addition - O(1) - same as ArrayList
Removal - O(1) - same as ArrayList
Lookup- O(1) - ArrayList is O(n)
Memory - Maybe slightly more than ArrayList since we have a hash to
store.

Hi,
I am creating an arraylist (say masterArrayList) of hashtables, where
each hashtable (say table) is of the format key=string, value =

retreive the corresponding hashtable from the masterArrayList and add
new strings to existing_strings after comparing the hashtable keys.
The problem is that when I add a new value to an existing_strings

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