I thought that arrays and hash tables could be strictly typed under 2.0
instead of just being objects, but I can't find any documentation.
I want to have the values in a hash table designated as a string type,
so that I don't have to keep doing something like:
strSomething = CStr(hashtable( Key))
I'd rather have
strSomething = hashtable(Key)
Do the hashtables support this? If they do, what is the syntax?
Thanks,

Hello Shane,
Check out the System.Collecti ons.Generic namespace and look up the documentation
on the new "Of" keyword.

Yes, but the generic hashtable is the Dictionary(Of T) in the
System.Collecti ons.Generic namespace.
e.g.,
Dim GenericHashtabl e As New Dictionary(Of String)
GenericHashtabl e.Add(somekey, somestring)
Dim thisString = GenericHashtabl e(somekey)
(also, List(Of T) is the generic replacement for ArrayList in 2.0)

Thanks for the info guys.
This feature was one of the items that had me chomping at the bit to
upgrade to 2.0

Hello,
I am using Hashtable class in my application to store key/value pairs. It
works great except the types returned are all objects. As a result, there are
type-casts everywhere making the code very hard to read. I believe it should
be relatively easy to derive a class from Hashtable that returns appropriate
types for my application. I started writing it like this
public class PeerTable : Hashtable {
public new PeerTable Clone() {

If I leave Option Strict Off I can use the following

A common programming technique I use in VB is making a collection of
structures. But if Option Strict is on (which I would prefer), the .Add
that adds the structure to the collection is flagged with a compiler
error (invalid type conversion). Is there a way to use a collection of
structures WITH the Option Strict On?

Hi,
I derived a class from the Hashtable class, with ISerializable implemented
and the tag added.
Everything works fine with one exception. I store the hashtable in
ViewState, but on a postback, the object in ViewState changes to Hashtable,
instead of MyHashtable.
I'm assuming this is a simple serialization setting, but I can't seem to

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
