The following example demonstrates the Key property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DictionaryEntry class.

public void Add(object key, object value)
{
 // Add the new key/value pair even if this key already exists in the dictionary.
 if (ItemsInUse == items.Length)
 throw new InvalidOperationException("The dictionary cannot hold any more items.");
 items[ItemsInUse++] = new DictionaryEntry(key, value);
}

Public Sub Add(ByVal key As Object, ByVal value As Object) Implements IDictionary.Add

 ' Add the new key/value pair even if this key already exists in the dictionary.
 If ItemsInUse = items.Length Then
 Throw New InvalidOperationException("The dictionary cannot hold any more items.")
 End If
 items(ItemsInUse) = New DictionaryEntry(key, value)
 ItemsInUse = ItemsInUse + 1
End Sub
