This method is an O(1) operation.
Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection’s objects’ Equals and CompareTo methods on key to determine whether item exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the item parameter on the objects in the collection.
The following code example searches for an element in a HybridDictionary.
Imports System Imports System.Collections Imports System.Collections.Specialized Public Class SamplesHybridDictionary Public Shared Sub Main() ' Creates and initializes a new HybridDictionary. Dim myCol As New HybridDictionary() myCol.Add("Braeburn Apples", "1.49") myCol.Add("Fuji Apples", "1.29") myCol.Add("Gala Apples", "1.49") myCol.Add("Golden Delicious Apples", "1.29") myCol.Add("Granny Smith Apples", "0.89") myCol.Add("Red Delicious Apples", "0.99") myCol.Add("Plantain Bananas", "1.49") myCol.Add("Yellow Bananas", "0.79") myCol.Add("Strawberries", "3.33") myCol.Add("Cranberries", "5.98") myCol.Add("Navel Oranges", "1.29") myCol.Add("Grapes", "1.99") myCol.Add("Honeydew Melon", "0.59") myCol.Add("Seedless Watermelon", "0.49") myCol.Add("Pineapple", "1.49") myCol.Add("Nectarine", "1.99") myCol.Add("Plums", "1.69") myCol.Add("Peaches", "1.99") ' Displays the values in the HybridDictionary in three different ways.
