{
DictionaryEntry de = safe_cast<DictionaryEntry>(myEnum->Current);
Console::WriteLine( " {0,-25} {1}", de.Key, de.Value );
}
Console::WriteLine();
}
int main()
{
// Creates and initializes a new HybridDictionary.
HybridDictionary^ myCol = gcnew HybridDictionary;
myCol->Add( "Braeburn Apples", "1.49" );

Remarks
Count is set to zero, and references to other objects from elements of the collection are also released.
If the collection is already stored in a Hashtable, the collection remains in the Hashtable.
This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.
