HashMap or Property

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,
is there anything in the C# language that will allow you to retrieve a
value by a key, sort of like those in java? for instance

Object o = map.get("somekey");

i know there as to be something like this, but can't find it in
System.Utils. I have seen HashTable, but you must enumerate thru all
items and do a comparison until you find the key you are looking for
apparently.

thanks
