I have recently been looking into using generics to hold collections of objects as I like the type safe features they provide. But I want to be able to store objects with a key for easy finding. Which is the best object to do this? Is it a dictionary?

Dictionary<stri ng, object>, is that what you are referring to? -

I was referring to Generic.Diction ary(Of String, Object)
I have had a brief look at LINQ but I think to implement it would require an overhaul of the site somewhat. It doesn't seem to make sense to use it only in one place.
Also the objects I am building are not from database tables but from settings defined as committed text in the stored procedures. Which I don't think LINQ would be any good for.Comment

LINQ isn't just for database stuff, it lets you use SQL like commands on your objects too. The demonstrations I've seen are really cool...but I haven't tried it in any of my applications yet.Originally posted by Bob Ross
Anyway, have you looked at using a Hash Table?
Hash tables let you store objects with a key....Comment
