I just saw this behaviour and I'm a bit surprised by it...
If I add 3 or 4 elements to a Dictionary, and then do a "For Each" to get all the keys, they appear in the same order I added them.
The reason this surprises me is that a Dictionary is supposed to be a HashTable internally, so I expected things to come out in ANY order (ordered by the hash of the key, right?)
What am I missing here? Is this a behaviour I can count on?
EDIT: OK, I thought already of many of the reasons why this might happen (like the separate list to entries, whether this is a coincidence, etc). My question is, does anyone know how this really works?
