Help on DictionaryBase

[phinoppix]

How do I use a DictionaryBase class? Is a DictionaryBase class similar to a HashTable?

 

[MrPtt]

Hashtable:
A hashtable is a dictionary (implements IDictionary) optimized for fast retrieval.

DictionaryBase:
This base class is provided to make it easier for implementers to create a strongly typed custom collection. Implementers should extend this base class instead of creating their own.

Members of this base class are protected and are intended to be used through a derived class only.
