A hashtable has a different purpose than a list. You should use a hashtable if you want to access the items in it by a key. A list behaves like an array, only accessable through an index.
And there is also Dictionary<Key,Value> which is a generic version of Hashtable. HTH // Ryan On 7/3/07, Russell Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am trying to determine if I should use a generic List<T> or a HashTable to hold some data objects. The main thing is that I want to know if there is general knowledge that one just performs better than the other. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
