SortedList
This class is a dictionary
collection in which values
can be retrieved either by associated key or by index (meaning that
the elements are specifically ordered). Keys are sorted based on
their object type (e.g., strings are alphabetically sorted). You can
override the default key comparison methods by providing your own
IComparer-implementing object to the
SortedList constructor.
Many methods are defined to allow you to retrieve values by either
key name or index value. The IndexOfKey( ) and
IndexOfValue( ) methods return the zero-based
index value of the specified key or value. GetByIndex( ) and SetByIndex( ) use the index values
for their functionality.
