DictionaryBase

Synopsis

This abstract base class is used to implement specialized dictionary style collections. Classes derived from DictionaryBase allow for strongly typed key and value pairs. A set of protected instance methods is defined to be overridden by derived classes. These methods allow a class to specify customized processes when functions are performed on the derived object. For example, OnSet( ) lets you perform a function before you set a new element in the dictionary, while OnSetComplete( ) lets you perform a function after a value is set.
