Hashtable

The number of items (strings/integers) contained in the hash table.

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Adds to the hash table from XML previously created by calling ToXmlSb.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds or replaces an entry with the given key and integer value to the hash table. Returns true if a new hash entry was added or replaced. Returns false if an out-of-memory condition occurred.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds URL query parameters into the hashtable. The queryParams has the form: "field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3...". It is assumed that the values are URL encoded, and this method automatically URL decodes the values prior to inserting into the hashtable.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Adds or replaces an entry with the given key and string value to the hash table. Returns true if a new hash entry was added or replaced. Returns false if an out-of-memory condition occurred.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Removes all elements from the Hashtable.

Removes all elements from the Hashtable and re-sizes with the specified capacity.

The capacity is the number of buckets in the hash table. In the case of a "hash collision", a single bucket stores multiple entries, which must be searched sequentially. One rule of thumb is to set the capacity to twice the number of expected items to be hashed. It's also preferable to set the capacity to a prime number. (The 1st 10,000 prime numbers are listed here: https://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/10000.txt )

The initial default capacity of the hash table is 521.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Determines if a given key is contained within the hash table. Returns true if the key exists, otherwise returns false.

Determines if a given key is contained within the hash table. Returns true if the key exists, otherwise returns false.

Appends the complete set of hashtable key strings to strTable.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Returns the integer value associated with the specified key. If the key is not in the hash table, the return value is 0.

Returns the string value associated with the specified key.

Returns null on failure

Removes the entry with the specified key from the hash table. Returns true if the key existed and was removed. Returns false if the key did not already exist.

Serializes the hash table to a query string such as key1=value1&key2=value2&key3=value3 where each value is URL encoded.

Returns null on failure

Serializes the hash table to XML format. The XML is appended to sbXml.

Returns true for success, false for failure.
