How to insert an item into a key/value pair object?
- by Clay
Ok...here's a softball question...
I just need to be able to insert a key/value pair into an object at a specific position. I'm currently working with a Hashtable which, of course, doesn't allow for this functionality. What would be the best approach?
UPDATE: Also, I do need the ability to lookup by the key.
For example...oversimplified and pseudocoded but should convey the point
// existing Hashtable
myHashtable.Add("somekey1", "somevalue1");
myHashtable.Add("somekey2", "somevalue2");
myHashtable.Add("somekey3", "somevalue3");
// Some other object that will allow me to insert a new key/value pair.
// Assume that this object has been populated with the above key/value pairs.
oSomeObject.Insert("newfirstkey","newfirstvalue");
Thanks in advance.
