HashMap equivalent in VB.net ?

[RebLazer]

In C++ there is a container class called a "map" which can create key-value pairs and much of the ease of working with dynamically sorted and allocated array is taken care of by the STL. A similar class would be a Java HashTable.

What is there like that in VB.net? I need it to contain word/value pairs.

Thanks,

.NET has a Hashtable class which can store key/value pairs. I don't think it supports sorting, though is does dynamically allocate as pairs are added and removed.

Dim ht As New Hashtable()

ht.Add(1, "Hello&quot

ht.Add(2, " World&quot

MessageBox.Show(ht.Item(1).ToString & ht.Item(2).ToString)
