How to use HashKey for dictionary objects

0.00/5 (No votes)

Hi,

I need to create a method which will return a list of duplicate values.

Now the method is like,

public static Dictionary<string, List<FileInfo>> GetDuplicateSelectors(Dictionary<FileInfo, List<string>> dictSelectors)

The method is ok with small numbers of input. But for a large set of inputs, the performance will be degraded. So I wanted to use the HashKey<> for searching purpose. So how can I use HashKey in that?

Can anybody please help me doing this?

Thanks

What is the code you have tried, and what problem have you encountered?

Search where, in the dictionary by key, or in the list? Dictionary does not degrade performance with volume (that's why we use them), they provide nearly O(1) complexity.
You are probably doing something wrong. Can you make a code sample? If so, use "Improve question" above.
