Hi,
what I need is as follow. I have a class that contains a string.
ref
class WordObj{
public:
String^ string;
Int32 info;
// further data
};
Now I want to add such WordObj to a hashtable.
myHT.add(wo->string, wo);
As you can see, the string inside the WordObj is the key. Is it possible to prevent the hashtable object to store the string twice Once as key and a second time as part of the stored object. It is important, that the string stays part of the object.
Thank you,
Bernd
Hash Table Question
Joe Dawson
String class in .NET is immutable. It means that it can not be modified. You can not change the value of it, you create a new String instance instead.
If the strings can not be modified it can reuse the same string data.
However, a Hashtable will keep a copy of the string so if you modify it in the original structure it is part of it will not change the key for the entry in the Hashtable.
