IDictionary.Remove Method

If the IDictionary object does not contain an element with the specified key, the IDictionary remains unchanged. No exception is thrown.

The following code example demonstrates how to implement the Remove method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IDictionary class.

public void Remove(object key)
{
    if (key == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("key");
    // Try to find the key in the DictionaryEntry array
    Int32 index;
    if (TryGetIndexOfKey(key, out index))
    {
        // If the key is found, slide all the items up.
        Array.Copy(items, index + 1, items, index, ItemsInUse - index - 1);
        ItemsInUse--;
    } 
    else
    {
        // If the key is not in the dictionary, just return. 
    }
}
