Storing Data using the Dictionary Object
The Dictionary object lets you store data using name/value pairs. Unlike arrays, Dictionary objects are not multidimensional; however, they have more functions and can be easier to work with than arrays.
| Dictionary Object: Methods |
| Add |
Adds an item to the Dictionary object. |
| Exists |
Indicates whether or not a specified key exists in the Dictionary object. |
| Items |
Returns all the items in the Dictionary object. |
| Keys |
Returns all the keys in the Dictionary object. |
| Remove |
Removes the specified item from the Dictionary object. |
| RemoveAll |
Removes all the items in the Dictionary object. |
| Dictionary Object: Properties |
| CompareMode |
Specifies or returns the mode used for comparing keys in the Dictionary object. |
| Count |
Returns the number of items in the Dictionary object. |
| Item |
Specifies or returns the value of an item in the Dictionary object. |
| Key |
Specifies a new key value for an item in the Dictionary object. |
Once you create a Dictionary object, you add items to the object using the Add method. Items are added in key/name pairs, and can be accessed by their keys:
| <% Dim myDictionary Set myDictionary=Server.CreateObject(“Scripting.Dictionary”) myDictionary.Add “j1″,”Jane” myDictionary.Add “j2″,”Jean” myDictionary.Add “j3″,”Jenny” myDictionary.Add “j4″,”Joan” Response.Write(myDictionary.Item(“j3”) %> |
