The key is handled in a case-insensitive manner; it is translated to lowercase before it is used with the string dictionary. In .NET Framework version 1.0, this class uses culture-sensitive string comparisons. However, in .NET Framework version 1.1 and later, this class uses when comparing strings. For more information about how culture affects comparisons and sorting, see Comparing and Sorting Data for a Specific Culture and Performing Culture-Insensitive String Operations.

Implements a hash table with the key and the value strongly typed to be strings rather than objects.

Constructor 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 This constructor is an O(1) operation.

Initializes a new instance of the class.

Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Void The key is handled in a case-insensitive manner; it is translated to lowercase before it is added to the string dictionary. This method is an O(1) operation.

Adds an entry with the specified key and value into the .

The key of the entry to add. The value of the entry to add. The value can be null. Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Void This method is an O() operation, where is .

Removes all entries from the .

Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Boolean The key is handled in a case-insensitive manner; it is translated to lowercase before it is used. This method is an O(1) operation. Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection’s objects’ and methods on to determine whether exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the and methods of the parameter on the objects in the collection.

Determines if the contains a specific key.

true if the contains an entry with the specified key; otherwise, false. The key to locate in the . Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Boolean The values of the elements of the StringDictionary are compared to the specified value using the method. This method performs a linear search; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to . That is, this method is an O() operation, where is . Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection’s objects’ and methods on to determine whether exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the and methods of the parameter on the objects in the collection.

Determines if the contains a specific value.

true if the contains an element with the specified value; otherwise, false. The value to locate in the . The value can be null. Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Void copies objects that can be typecast to . contains both the key and the value. The elements copied to the are sorted in the same order that the enumerator iterates through the . This method is an O() operation, where is .

Copies the string dictionary values to a one-dimensional instance at the specified index.

The one-dimensional that is the destination of the values copied from the . The index in the array where copying begins. Property 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Int32 To be added: an object of type 'int' To be added

Gets the number of key/value pairs in the .

Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Collections.IEnumerator The foreach statement of the C# language (for each in Visual Basic) hides the complexity of the enumerators. Therefore, using foreach is recommended, instead of directly manipulating the enumerator. Enumerators can be used to read the data in the collection, but they cannot be used to modify the underlying collection. Initially, the enumerator is positioned before the first element in the collection. also brings the enumerator back to this position. At this position, is undefined. Therefore, you must call to advance the enumerator to the first element of the collection before reading the value of . returns the same object until either or is called. sets to the next element. If passes the end of the collection, the enumerator is positioned after the last element in the collection and returns false. When the enumerator is at this position, subsequent calls to also return false. If the last call to returned false, is undefined. To set to the first element of the collection again, you can call followed by . An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is irrecoverably invalidated and its behavior is undefined. The enumerator does not have exclusive access to the collection; therefore, enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can lock the collection during the entire enumeration. To allow the collection to be accessed by multiple threads for reading and writing, you must implement your own synchronization. This method is an O(1) operation.

Returns an enumerator that iterates through the string dictionary.

An that iterates through the string dictionary. Property 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Boolean To be added: an object of type 'bool' A instance is not synchronized. Derived classes can provide a synchronized version of the using the 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.

Gets a value indicating whether access to the is synchronized (thread safe).

Property 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.String To be added: an object of type 'string'

To be added

To be added: an object of type 'string' To be added Property 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Collections.ICollection To be added: an object of type 'Collections.ICollection' The order of the keys in the is unspecified, but it is the same order as the associated values in the returned by the method. The returned is not a static copy; instead, the refers back to the keys in the original . Therefore, changes to the continue to be reflected in the . Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.

Gets a collection of keys in the .

Method 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Void If the does not contain an element with the specified key, the remains unchanged. No exception is thrown. The key is handled in a case-insensitive manner; it is translated to lowercase before it is used to find the entry to remove from the string dictionary. This method is an O(1) operation.

Removes the entry with the specified key from the string dictionary.

The key of the entry to remove. Property 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Object To be added: an object of type 'object' Derived classes can provide their own synchronized version of the using the property. The synchronizing code must perform operations on the of the , not directly on the . This ensures proper operation of collections that are derived from other objects. Specifically, it maintains proper synchronization with other threads that might be simultaneously modifying the object. 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.

Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the .

Property 1.0.5000.0 2.0.0.0 4.0.0.0 System.Collections.ICollection To be added: an object of type 'Collections.ICollection' The order of the values in the is unspecified, but it is the same order as the associated keys in the returned by the method. The returned is not a static copy; instead, the refers back to the values in the original . Therefore, changes to the continue to be reflected in the . Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.

Gets a collection of values in the .
