HashMap or Property

Hi,
is there anything in the C# language that will allow you to retrieve a
value by a key, sort of like those in java? for instance

Object o = map.get("someke y");

i know there as to be something like this, but can't find it in
System.Utils. I have seen HashTable, but you must enumerate thru all
items and do a comparison until you find the key you are looking for
apparently.

thanks

No you donot need to iterate over all the items in a hashtable, which is in
System.Collecti ons namespace. You may use:
System.Collecti ons.Hashtable hash = new System.Collecti ons.Hashtable() ;
:
:
Object o = hash["somekey"];

In .NET 2.0 you will probably want to use the generic type Dictionary
instead of HashTable.

I have a HashMap that is storing form data that will later be inserted into a database. I have been able to create the HashMap just fine, but I wanted to be able to take my HashMap and just "dump" it out to the screen to make sure that everything is working as I expect. (It was really to easy to code so I think that I may be mising something). This is a piece of the code where I am updating the HashMap: if ( map.containsKey(temp)) {...

Hi, I'm trying to loop over the elements in a hashmap of the STL-implementation by SGI. The point is, that because the key/value pair is stored as std::pair in the COntainer, the code becomes very ugly and unreadable soon. I'm aware that there exists the for_each-template, but this doesn't make the code any better because the body of the for-loop must then live in an extra function (consider two nested loops). Now I tried to mimic the...

Hello, I need help. I have the following hashmap: HashMap<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String> mapList = new HashMap<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String>(); I want to extract Dimesion from the key, where the Integer is "1", and String from the value.

So has the title says I need to find a away to loop over a Character ArrayList and replace the characters with a values from a HasMap. This is a simple encryption but I can't figure it out. What I have to do is get the distinct characters from the text that's been passed in and then assign values to them using a HashMap. I've done that. Also in front of the file there should be the number of distinct characters and the distinct characters...

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,...
