Hi,

I forgot to mention that the hashtable structure I mentioned in the other
post should have a generic list as the hashtable value, is this list the one
that contains the elements matching the hashing key

Hi,

My app needs to potentially store a large number of custom objects and be
able to iterate through them quickly. I was wondering which data structure
would be the most efficient to do this,a hashtable or a generic list.

Is using enumerators to iterate through the data structure a good idea?

I'd appreciate any suggesstions or advice,

Thanks
Macca
