Object.GetHashCode Method
.NET Micro Framework 3.0
Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
You can use the GetHashCode method to hash algorithms and data structures (such as hash tables).
The GetHashCode method can be overridden by a derived class. Value classes must override this method to provide a hash function that is appropriate for the class and that ensures optimum distribution in the hash table. Classes that might be used as keys in a hash table must also override this method, because objects that are used as keys in a hash table are required to generate their own hash code by using this method.
