obsolete New Hashtable(New CaseInsensitive HashCodeProvide r, New CaseInsensitive Comparer), use IEqualityCompar er instead

[Eric Donoho]

New warning in .net 2.0... The cumbersome, and difficult to remember
case-insensitive comparer declaration for the hashtable has been
deprecated... It tells me to use IEqualityCompar er instead.

So, this syntax is obsolete:

New Hashtable(New CaseInsensitive HashCodeProvide r, New
CaseInsensitive Comparer)

So, the replacement seems to be (after an hour of searching):

New Hashtable(Strin gComparer.Ordin alIgnoreCase)
The following link is helpful as it describes the "why"... At least
this one will be easy to remember.

Example (vb.net):

Dim d As New Hashtable(Strin gComparer.Ordin alIgnoreCase)

d.Add("hello", "why do they make this so difficult?")

If d.ContainsKey(" HELLO") Then
MsgBox("because ")
End If
Hopefully this saves someone else an hour of searching...
