Hashtable, enum as a key

[Guest]

When I use, enum as key with Hashtable the HT doesn't work properly. It
works fine when I explicitly change the type to the undelying one. But it
frustrates me, since I haven't seen anything about that in any doc and is it
olny enum?

thanks,

What is going wrong?

Ok, I probably had some bugs of my own. But still, when you have enum as a
key and then do Quick Watch on the hash table you can't see what's in
it(that's why I thougth that the problem is enum). Why is that? Is it just a
debugging tool problem or Hashtable problem?

Probably a debugging problem. The debugger is a bit odd with Hashtable.

I believe VS 2k5 has fixed alot of these issues.
