Is there an MFC 'CMAP' equivalent in C# ?

[Bishman]

.....Or can any one suggest a method of searching an array and retrieveing an
object associated with the value I am searching for ?

I have an 'Advisor' object holding info about... Sales Advisors.

I need to hold these in an Array, but need to be able to retrieve and update
the object values using the AdvisorsID value.

In C++ I would have used a CMAP object, so is there an equivalent in C# or
do I need some other sort of Multidimensional array ?

Help appreciated

Thanks.

Bishman,

If you are using .NET 1.1 or before, then use the Hashtable class in the
System.Collections namespace. If you are using .NET 2.0 or above, then use
the Dictionary<TKey, TItem> class in the System.Collections.Generic
namespace.

Hope this helps.

Absolutely spot on Nicholas. Using .NET 2.0 so used the Dictionary class.
Tested all working sweet !

You dont know how much stress you have just relieved me of. Thanks !!
