Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to implement the Add method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IDictionary class.

public:
    virtual void Add(Object^ key, Object^ value)
    {
        // Add the new key/value pair even if this key already exists
        // in the dictionary.
        if (itemsInUse == items->Length)
        {
            throw gcnew InvalidOperationException
                ("The dictionary cannot hold any more items.");
        }
        items[itemsInUse++] = gcnew DictionaryEntry(key, value);
    }

public void Add(object key, object value)
{
    // Add the new key/value pair even if this key already exists in the dictionary.
    if (ItemsInUse == items.Length)
        throw new InvalidOperationException("The dictionary cannot hold any more items.");
    items[ItemsInUse++] = new DictionaryEntry(key, value);
}

Public Sub Add(ByVal key As Object, ByVal value As Object) Implements IDictionary.Add

    ' Add the new key/value pair even if this key already exists in the dictionary.
    If ItemsInUse = items.Length Then
        Throw New InvalidOperationException("The dictionary cannot hold any more items.")
    End If
    items(ItemsInUse) = New DictionaryEntry(key, value)
    ItemsInUse = ItemsInUse + 1
End Sub

Remarks

You can also use the Item[] property to add new elements by setting the value of a key that does not exist in the dictionary (for example, myCollection["myNonexistentKey"] = myValue). However, if the specified key already exists in the dictionary, setting the Item[] property overwrites the old value. In contrast, the Add method does not modify existing elements.

Implementations can vary in whether they allow the key to be null.
