Examples

The following code example demonstrates the implementation of a simple IOrderedDictionary based on the ArrayList class. The implemented IOrderedDictionary stores first names as the keys and last names as the values, with the added requirement that each first name is unique.

Remarks

IOrderedDictionary elements can be accessed either with the key or with the index.

Each element is a key/value pair stored in a DictionaryEntry structure.

Each pair must have a unique key that is not null, but the value can be null and does not have to be unique. The IOrderedDictionary interface allows the contained keys and values to be enumerated, but it does not imply any particular sort order.

The foreach statement of the C# language (For Each in Visual Basic) returns an object of the type of the elements in the collection. Because each element of the IDictionary 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, as the following example shows.

for each (DictionaryEntry de in myOrderedDictionary)
{
    //...
}

foreach (DictionaryEntry de in myOrderedDictionary)
{
    //...
}

For Each de In myOrderedDictionary
    '...
Next

The foreach statement is a wrapper around the enumerator, which allows only reading from, not writing to, the collection.

Notes to Implementers

The implementing class must have a means to compare keys.
