Kind of List? ...

[shapper]

Hello,

I need to pass to a function a list of items. Each item must include
to values:

1. Method (Enum Type)

2. Value (String)

I was using:

Dim myItems As New Dictionary(Of String,
Validation.RegularExpression)

With myItems
'.Add("hello", Type.NotEmpty)
'.Add("(e-mail address removed)", Type.Email)
End With

The problem with this is that I can send two items with same value,
for example

Dim myItems As New Dictionary(Of String,
Validation.RegularExpression)

With myItems
'.Add("(e-mail address removed)", Type.NotEmpty)
'.Add("(e-mail address removed)", Type.Email)
End With

How can I solve this problem?

Maybe I should use other type of object to send to my function.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Miguel

It sounds like you need a NameValueCollection; a specialized collection that
allows duplicate keys.
