Why is there no generic implementation of OrderedDictionary in .net?
- by nonot1
Why did Microsoft not provide generic implementation of OrderedDictionary?
There are a few custom implementations I've seen, including: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/GenericOrderedDictionary.aspx
But why did Microsoft not include it in the base .net library? Surely they had a reason for not building a generic.... but what is it?
Prior to posting this message, I did see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2629027/no-generic-implementation-of-ordereddictionary
But that just confirms that it does not exist. Not why it does not exist.
Thanks
