You can't because the Dictionary class is implemented with a hashtable
so the index doesn't make much sense. Let me ask you this...what
would you want the index value of 0 to mean? That might help us
determine what kind of collection best fits your needs.

Sam, Not sure why you need to loop thru a dictionary using index, but have
you had a look at wintellect's power collections
(http://www.wintellect.com/PowerCollections.aspx). The OrderedDictiona ry
might be what you are looking for.

Cheers!
