Dictionary?

[skawt]

Hi, good day again.

I would like to kindly ask if there is a dictionary in vb.net?

I would like to validate some data from the user and their corresponding value.

e.g.

2 = ABC
6 = MNO
6 = MNO
7 = PQRS
8 = TUV
8 = TUV
3 = DEF

if the user had input the numeric data on textbox1, then the alpha phrase will show on textbox2.

What i want to run is that if i press the "execute" button, it will look for a word than can be create using these letters ( e.g COMPUTE )

Then it will display the word "COMPUTE" on textbox3.

Is there a function or method i could use to do that?

Pardon my ignorance.


TIA

skawt

Looks like you're making a telephone number word generator. A quick Googling lead me here: Telephone number word generator - VB.NET. Post #3 shows using a Dictionary(Of Integer, String)
