Is there a typical way to create a dictionary (or hash table) with two
values, instead of one?
Currently, my data structure is TWO dictionaries, each with matching
and fully sychronized keys. This allows me to have one key with two
values (one value in each dictionary). This is ugly code as the
dictionaries could get out of synch (due to a bug or something).

Just create a Pair type which has a pair of values, and store that as
the single value in the dictionary.

Along these lines, you could also just store the values as an array...so
each key/value would be a key/array.

Mythran,
The only catch there is that if the two values are of different types,
then you have to have an array of object, which can have an overhead (if you
are boxing and unboxing value types).
In all cases, the solution that Jon suggested will provide a consistent,
expected behavior.

As Jon suggested use an object with two properties. Here is a generic
version that you would use like:
DualValueDictio nary<long, string, intd = new DualValueDictio nary<long,
string, int>();
d.Add(123, "hello", 25);
if(d[123].Value1 == "hello") .....
public class DualValueDictio nary<Tkey, V1, V2: Dictionary<Tkey ,
DualValues<V1, V2>>
{
public void Add(Tkey key, V1 value1, V2 value2)
{
base.Add(key, new DualValues<V1,V 2>(value1, value2));
}
}
public class DualValues<V1, V2>
{
public DualValues(V1 v1, V2 v2)
{
this.value1 = v1;
this.value2 = v2;
}
private V1 value1;
public V1 Value1
{
get
{
return this.value1;
}
}
private V2 value2;
public V2 Value2
{
get
{
return this.value2;
}
}
}
PS
Jon, simple elegant solution. Thanks.
PS, thanks for the code. You just guided me around a few pitfalls I
would have got stuck on (I would not have thought of generic classes,
as I'm new to them).
Thanks all,

I wrote a program which inserts and finds elements in an hash table.
Each element of the table is a dinamic list, which holds all elements
having the same hash value (calculated by an int hashFunction(char
*key, int elements) ), so the table is an array of dynamic lists.
The version of the program I've attached to this message works fine;
but it's the result of an accurate debugging. I discovered that my

Hi,
I am working on a winform app. I need to use an object which can store
some information(key/value pairs) and also can be acessed by multiple
threads(read/write). From what I heard Hash table is best suited for it. My
question is
Why hash table. why can't we use an array.
I thought hash table uses more memory than array. Correct me if am wrong.

Hello,
I am using some very large dictionaries with keys that are long strings
(urls). For a large dictionary these keys start to take up a
significant amount of memory. I do not need access to these keys -- I
only need to be able to retrieve the value associated with a certain
key, so I do not want to have the keys stored in memory. Could I just
hash() the url strings first and use the resulting integer as the key?

A quick sanity check, and I think I am correct, but just to make
sure: if you have a bunch of objects that are very much like one
another you can uniquely track them simply by using an ArrayList or
Array, correct? An example: create the object, create an array, the
stuff the object into the array. Later on, assume the object is
mutable, the object changes, but you can find it, if you have enough
state information to uniquely identify...
