I'm trying to determine which collection retain the order in which they are
added to the collection. Am I missing something in the MS documents? (like
an interface that defines this?)

Thanks,
Stan

Arraylist (unless you sort the elements)

And that is the only one? I need access by key/value and index.

There's none in the BCL with those features. You can try one of these:

hope that helps..

dx,
Have you tried System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection or
NameObjectCollectionBase?

NameObjectCollectionBase allows you to create a type safe collection that
can be accessed by key or index.

There are a number of other collection classes in
System.Collections.Specialized & System.Collections that may do what you
need...

Hope this helps
Jay
