    Hashtable v.s. Dictionary

    Hello everyone,


    Any guidelines about when to use Hashtable and when to use Dictionary? I always use Dictionary. :-)


    thanks in advance,
    George

    Use Hashtable if your .NET Version is older than .NET 2.0 or interfacing with older .NET versions, else use Dictionary.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
