Custom TKey

[Tim Royal]

On my web site, i have a collection of items that a user could click on. I
originally had a dictionary that kept a key,item list, but now it's grown
more complicated as "new information about what the customer is selling" has
come in.

Long story short, I was looking for a way to have a dictionary use a key
that I defined.

example:

instead of Dictionary<stri ng, object>,

I wanted to have:

Dictionary<cust omTypeIDefine, objecttestDict( );

I was able to create a dictionary and add items in by using:

testDict.add(ne w customTypeIDefi ne("boo", Style.Left), new
MySpecialObject ()),

but it doesn't seem to be able to lookup the values and find them. I'm
guessing it's because somewhere I need to define or implement some
interfaces for the TKey type I've defined.

Is there an article/reference/list of what I need to implement for a TKey to
be usable in this situation?

Thanks for any assistance.
