Python OrderedDict Analog?

Question

Is there a .net analogue of Python OrderedDict ?

. OrderedDict is a dictionary that remembers the order in which keys were inserted. If a new record overwrites an existing record, the original insertion position remains unchanged. Deleting a record and re-nesting it will move it to the end.

I want this exact behavior.

Answer 1

I believe System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary behaves like this.

Answer 2

There is no general implementation of the OrderedDictionary collection in vanilla .NET, however you can still write your own or use existing solutions:

OrderedDictionary: general implementation of IOrderedDictionary
