does VB.Net support hash?

[tommy_cs]

hash is very easy to use in Perl, but how can we address data by value in VB.NET?

does VB.NET support hash?

Thanks!

Yes the System.Security.Cryptography namespacecontains various classes to create hashes

vb.net hash

Thank very much for your explanation. hash class in vb.net is really powerful.

But I actually mean "associative array". I think it is confusing as my perl textbook use "hash" and "associative array" interchangeably.

I have search on the web, and it seems that the associate array data structure is support in vb.net.

In VB.Net associative arrays are called Dictionary (and the lists that operate on value/key pairs)
