Array with string index

[John]

Hi

Is there a way to create an array of strings of subscript of type index too?
Like;

x("Element A")="Value for element A"

Thanks

Hi,

Take a look at the hash table.

Others have suggested System.Collections.Hashtable, but I would like to
throw out, System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary.

What are the advantages of StringDictionary over hashtable?

Thanks

It's typesafe. It only takes strings as keys and only takes strings as
values. Hashtable takes object, so you have to do a lot of casting :)

John,
In addition to HashTable & StringDictionary, there are:

System.Collections.DictionaryBase - for creating your own type safe
dictionaries (hash tables)

System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectio nBase - for creating your
own type safe that are keyed by Strings & indexed.

System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection which is similar to
StringDictionary, however also supports being indexed by an integer...

Basically check out the various collections in both System.Collections &
System.Collections.Specialized.

Hope this helps
Jay
