ListDictionary

Synopsis

This class is a simple implementation of a dictionary collection (System.Collections.IDictionary) for small lists. It implements the IDictionary methods and properties, and it is suggested for use with a small number of elements (less than 10). The overloaded constructor can optionally pass an System.Collections.IComparer reference, which may be used for case-insensitive key comparison or other special key type conversions.
