Hello,
i need a key-value pair list sorted by adding sequence like a collection. But i see that the Dictionary Class, the HashTable Class, the Sorted List Class seem not to do that.
Must i use two Collections one with the keys a second with the values for that, or does such a list exist
Regards,
Markus

What your probably looking for is a sorteddictionary collection which is avaialble in VB2005
Sorted Disctionary Class

This represents a collection of key/value pairs that are sorted on the key.

Yes.

Or a collection. What is the difference
Thank you for your answer!
Then i think there is really no key-value pair list sorted in my requested order.

Thank you Deborah for the link.

I want it in the order in which they where added to the list. How Deborah writes it is not much work to get such list by using a list or a collection and creating a own class with the key/value pair.

Oh i see in the help of vb.net that the list class is not guaranteed to be sorted.
I want to have a ordered list but not a sorted list.
So my question is again:
Is the old good collection the only list that is sorted in the sequence elements where added

To clarify, you need a key and a value but you want things sorted by the order in which they were added to the list, not on the key or the value
If so, you could just use a List. This will allow you to access the data in sequential order. Then create a class with a property for the name and value and put instances of the class in the List.
hope this helps ...
