Can hashtable hold a picture image?

[Noozer]

Code sample:
dim hash as Hashtable 'Declare Hashtable
....
hash.add (picOne.image, "picture") 'Error here
picOne is a picturebox added to the form at design time with a GIF image
applied.

When the add method executes I get the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in
HashTable test.exe

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.

Can a hashtable be used to hold picture images?

Thanks!

dim hash as Hashtable 'Declare Hashtable
Replace the line above with 'Dim hash As New Hashtable()'.

Thanks... I should use the "intelli" part of "intellisense" a bit more... I
had the object and the key swapped in my code. Ooops.
