SortedList or Dictionary of KEYS ONLY

[pamela fluente]

I noticed that I am using quite often SortedLists where I use KEYS
only.

when I add new elements I use something like : MyKeyObj ,
Nothing/Null/false

Is there a collection type which is similar to the SortedList by does
NOT
have the Values ?

And, a similar question, I have for the Dictionary.

Did you know that there are .Net Framework groups for language independent
questions? You can find them here: m.p.dotnet.framework[.*]

We use a custom collection called KeySet<Tfor a dictionary of keys
only since this scenario comes up a lot. It's made programming these
things a lot easier to read and maintain.

Watch the line wrapping...

HTH,

Thanks Sam,

It's very generous of you to provide your code.

I was also thinking to do the same (actually more simple :-). By
inheriting from
a SortedList of Key, Boolean or a Dictionary of Key, Boolean and
"shielding"
the Values.

But I guess that would not be much different from using the standard
classes and adding Null Values.

It's strange Microsoft dose not seem to provide them (does it?).
Since one has custom comparers in .NET
its quite natural that the Key can hold all the necessary
information. No?

PS
Thanks, actually I did not know that!

You might want to look into one of the free collection libraries, e.g. "C5"
or "Power Collections" - these have lots of diffrent Set implementations.

I didn't say this. You're always welcome! Just makes sense to use the groups
for which they are made for. :-)

I have just looked at Power Collections. I did not know they existed.

Pamela,

Have a look at Arrays
