How to create a HashMap in C#

Question

I know we can create a HashMap in Java. But I want to create a HashMap in C# for my ASP.NET MVC project.

Is this possible to do? If yes, how?

In Java we can create a HashMap like this:

import java.util.HashMap;
//...
HashMap<Name, Value> myDictionary = new HashMap<>();

Solution 1

Look at Dictionary<key,value> in the System.Collections.Generic. It is the C# "parallel" (albeit having some differences, it is the closest to) of HashMap in Java.

Solution 2

var myHashMap = new Dictionary<string,object>();

Change the types string and object to whatever you need.
