Remarks
By default, the collection is case-sensitive and uses the key's implementation of Object.GetHashCode as the hash code provider and the key's implementation of Object.Equals as the comparer.
The comparer determines whether two keys are equal. Every key in a HybridDictionary must be unique.
This constructor is an O(1) operation.

Applies to
HybridDictionary(Boolean)
- Source:
- HybridDictionary.cs
- Source:
- HybridDictionary.cs
- Source:
- HybridDictionary.cs
Creates an empty HybridDictionary with the specified case sensitivity.
public:
HybridDictionary(bool caseInsensitive);public HybridDictionary (bool caseInsensitive);new System.Collections.Specialized.HybridDictionary : bool -> System.Collections.Specialized.HybridDictionaryPublic Sub New (caseInsensitive As Boolean)Parameters
- caseInsensitive
- Boolean
A Boolean that denotes whether the HybridDictionary is case-insensitive.
Remarks
If caseInsensitive is false, the collection uses the key's implementations of Object.GetHashCode and Object.Equals. If caseInsensitive is true, the collection performs a simple ordinal case-insensitive comparison, which obeys the casing rules of the invariant culture only. For more information on the invariant culture, see System.Globalization.CultureInfo.
This constructor is an O(1) operation.

Applies to
HybridDictionary(Int32)
- Source:
- HybridDictionary.cs
- Source:
- HybridDictionary.cs
- Source:

Creates a case-sensitive HybridDictionary with the specified initial size.
public:
HybridDictionary(int initialSize);public HybridDictionary (int initialSize);new System.Collections.Specialized.HybridDictionary : int -> System.Collections.Specialized.HybridDictionaryPublic Sub New (initialSize As Integer)Parameters
- initialSize
- Int32
The approximate number of entries that the HybridDictionary can initially contain.
Remarks
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 the Hashtable.
By default, the collection is case-sensitive and uses the key's implementation of Object.GetHashCode as the hash code provider and the key's implementation of Object.Equals as the comparer.
The comparer determines whether two keys are equal. Every key in a HybridDictionary must be unique.
This constructor is an O(n) operation, where n is initialSize.
