| Filename | Base Class Library | IdentitySet |
An IdentityDictionary stores key/data pairs or associations. Send the message "ofAssociations" to create a dictionary which stores instances of Association. Send the message "ofValues" to create a dictionary which stores key/data pairs.
An IdentityDictionary is more specific than a Dictionary as it compares object references instead of values. For example, if you asked it to find the key myKey it would only find it if the dictionary contained the same object reference as myKey - it would not compare the value of myKey against keys in the dictionary.
See class dictionary.
