Implements IDictionary by using a ListDictionary while the collection is small, and then switching to a Hashtable when the collection gets large.

Remarks
This class is recommended for cases where the number of elements in a dictionary is unknown. It takes advantage of the improved performance of a ListDictionary with small collections, and offers the flexibility of switching to a Hashtable which handles larger collections better than ListDictionary.
If the initial size of the collection is greater than the optimal size for a ListDictionary, the collection is stored in a Hashtable to avoid the overhead of copying elements from the ListDictionary to a Hashtable.
The constructor accepts a Boolean parameter that allows the user to specify whether the collection ignores the case when comparing strings. If the collection is case-sensitive, it uses the key's implementations of Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals. If the collection is case-insensitive, it performs a simple ordinal case-insensitive comparison, which obeys the casing rules of the invariant culture only. By default, the collection is case-sensitive. For more information on the invariant culture, see System.Globalization.CultureInfo.
A key cannot be null, but a value can.
The foreach statement of the C# language (For Each in Visual Basic) returns an object of the type of the elements in the collection. Since each element of the HybridDictionary is a key/value pair, the element type is not the type of the key or the type of the value. Instead, the element type is DictionaryEntry. For example:
for each (DictionaryEntry^ de in myHybridDictionary)
{
//...
}
foreach (DictionaryEntry de in myHybridDictionary)
{
//...
}
For Each de In myHybridDictionary
'...
Next
The foreach statement is a wrapper around the enumerator, which only allows reading from, not writing to, the collection.
Constructors
| HybridDictionary() |
Creates an empty case-sensitive HybridDictionary. |
| HybridDictionary(Boolean) |
Creates an empty HybridDictionary with the specified case sensitivity. |
| HybridDictionary(Int32) |
Creates a case-sensitive HybridDictionary with the specified initial size. |
| HybridDictionary(Int32, Boolean) |
Creates a HybridDictionary with the specified initial size and case sensitivity. |
Properties
| Count |
Gets the number of key/value pairs contained in the HybridDictionary. |
| IsFixedSize |
Gets a value indicating whether the HybridDictionary has a fixed size. |
| IsReadOnly |
Gets a value indicating whether the HybridDictionary is read-only. |
| IsSynchronized |
Gets a value indicating whether the HybridDictionary is synchronized (thread safe). |
| Item[Object] |
Gets or sets the value associated with the specified key. |
| Keys |
Gets an ICollection containing the keys in the HybridDictionary. |
| SyncRoot |
Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the HybridDictionary. |
| Values |
Gets an ICollection containing the values in the HybridDictionary. |
Methods
| Add(Object, Object) |
Adds an entry with the specified key and value into the HybridDictionary. |
| Clear() |
Removes all entries from the HybridDictionary. |
| Contains(Object) |
Determines whether the HybridDictionary contains a specific key. |
| CopyTo(Array, Int32) |
Copies the HybridDictionary entries to a one-dimensional Array instance at the specified index. |
| Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetEnumerator() |
Returns an IDictionaryEnumerator that iterates through the HybridDictionary. |
| GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
| Remove(Object) |
Removes the entry with the specified key from the HybridDictionary. |
| ToString() |
Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
Explicit Interface Implementations
| IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() |
Returns an IEnumerator that iterates through the HybridDictionary. |
Extension Methods
| Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable) |
Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. |
| OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable) |
Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. |
| AsParallel(IEnumerable) |
Enables parallelization of a query. |
| AsQueryable(IEnumerable) |
Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. |

Thread Safety
Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
This implementation does not provide a synchronized (thread safe) wrapper for a HybridDictionary, but derived classes can create their own synchronized versions of the HybridDictionary using the SyncRoot property.
Enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. Even when a collection is synchronized, other threads can still modify the collection, which causes the enumerator to throw an exception. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can either lock the collection during the entire enumeration or catch the exceptions resulting from changes made by other threads.
