Differences between .Net Hashtable, Java Hashtable & HashMap
.net, c#, hashmap, hashtable, java
Solution
I think what you're asking is if HashMaps in Java and HashTables in C# act in roughly the same way and you're largely correct from a performance point of view. HashMaps as I recall do not complain if you insert duplicate keys whereas HashTable in C# will.
Problem
Am I correct in saying that a .Net Hashtable is not synchronized while a Java Hashtable is? And at the same time a Java HashMap is not synchronized and has better performance? I am rewriting a Java app that makes heavy use of HashMaps in C# and I would like to use a HashTable and ensure that the performance is basically equivalent.
