Dear all,
following code iterates thru the hash table.
Dim _Enumerator As IDictionaryEnumerator = _myhashtable.GetEnumerator
While _Enumerator.MoveNext()
....
End While
But I can't find a way to iterate in reverse direction. Something like...
Dim _Enumerator As IDictionaryEnumerator = _myhashtable.GetReverseEnumerator
While _Enumerator.MovePrevious()
....
End While
It is possible?
Thanks

Just an addtion. I expect there could be answers saying, that hashtable is
not a right collection for that. What is a right one? I need to put/get
value/key (with key check). And I need to be able to iterate in both
directions.
Thanks,
Boni
How about creating your own class that inherits from Hashtable? Give it a
public property like InterationDirection, and then implement your own
enumerator that inspects the property and moves its cursor in the
appropriate direction. See the help file on IEnumerable and Enumerator to
see how to implement your own.

Dear Tom,
Do you know how to move cursor in oposite direction on hashtable? It is
exactly what I am looking for and can't figure out.
Well what did you thought of the collection object ???
there you can use keys and indexes ( you can retrieve a value by its key
value or by its index in the collection )
as you can also read out the collection count and access the values by there
index , it is easy to loop through the collection in bot directions or even
start somewhere in the middle
well hope to have given you some ideas
regards and happy VB coding :-)

Yes I did,
but I want to use .NET collections, and AFAK collection object is a VB
collection (and it is 1-based, what I hate:).
There should be a way to have the same functionality in .NET collections, I
hope.
But never the less, Thanks for the answer.

Normally movenext is implemented like this
Function MoveNext() As Boolean Implements IEnumerator.MoveNext
nIndex = nIndex + 1
Return (nIndex <= Collection.Count)
End Function
and it is also easy to implement MovePrevious.
But for hashtable it seems to be not possible to get value by index. (I am
wondering, how the normal evumerator for hashtable is implemented). Did I
missed something?

Boni,
Why not just use a datatable, there is so much build in that?
Cor
hmmm well i do not agree on that ,, but that is a total different discussion
and i will not bother you with that :-)
however the answer for your question can in my opinion be found at my
personal uber guru`s website ( Francesco Balena )
read this http://www.vb2themax.com/ShowContent...9-a6cf9b7953f4
and see also on the bottom that it also supports Hashtables

keep in mind that in comparisation to a hashtable it is much much slower (
even better as far as i know the hashtable is the fastest data retriever
there is )

Depends how you use it.
When you do
a = 1*2 you can better do
a = 2
When you do
a = 2*2 you can probably better do
a = 2+2
When you do
a = 10000 * 2 it is (probably) not better to do
for i = 1 to 10000
a += 2
next
A hashtable is in my opinion made to use with a dictionary not to iterate
over in a reverse order. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...onarytopic.asp
However, just my idea
