Get an enumerator that iterates through the Hashtable in C#

To get an enumerator that iterates through the Hashtable, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      Hashtable hash = new Hashtable(10);
      hash.Add("1", "A");
      hash.Add("2", "B");
      hash.Add("3", "C");
      hash.Add("4", "D");
      hash.Add("5","E");
      hash.Add("6", "F");
      hash.Add("7", "G");
      hash.Add("8","H");
      hash.Add("9", "I");
      hash.Add("10", "J");
      Console.WriteLine("Hashtable Key and Value pairs...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry entry in hash){
         Console.WriteLine("{0} and {1} ", entry.Key, entry.Value);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("Is the Hashtable having fixed size? = "+hash.IsFixedSize);
      Console.WriteLine("Count of entries in Hashtable = "+ hash.Count);
      Console.WriteLine("
Enumerator to iterate through the Hashtable...");
      IDictionaryEnumerator demoEnum = hash.GetEnumerator();
      while (demoEnum.MoveNext())
         Console.WriteLine("Key = " + demoEnum.Key + ", Value = " + demoEnum.Value);
      hash.Clear();
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Hashtable Key and Value pairs...
10 and J
1 and A
2 and B
3 and C
4 and D
5 and E
6 and F
7 and G
8 and H
9 and I
Is the Hashtable having fixed size? = False
Count of entries in Hashtable = 10 

Enumerator to iterate through the Hashtable...
Key = 10, Value = J
Key = 1, Value = A
Key = 2, Value = B
Key = 3, Value = C
Key = 4, Value = D
Key = 5, Value = E
Key = 6, Value = F
Key = 7, Value = G
Key = 8, Value = H
Key = 9, Value = I

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      Hashtable hash = new Hashtable(10);
      hash.Add("One", "A");
      hash.Add("Two", "B");
      hash.Add("Three", "C");
      hash.Add("Four", "D");
      hash.Add("Five","E");
      hash.Add("Six", "F");
      Console.WriteLine("Hashtable Key and Value pairs...");
      Console.WriteLine("
Enumerator to iterate through the Hashtable...");
      IDictionaryEnumerator demoEnum = hash.GetEnumerator();
      while (demoEnum.MoveNext())
         Console.WriteLine("Key = " + demoEnum.Key + ", Value = " + demoEnum.Value);
      hash.Clear();
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Hashtable Key and Value pairs...
Enumerator to iterate through the Hashtable...
Key = One, Value = A
Key = Five, Value = E
Key = Three, Value = C
Key = Two, Value = B
Key = Four, Value = D
Key = Six, Value = F
