Accessing a Dictionary.Keys Key through a numeric index

Question

I\'m using a Dictionary where the int is a count of the key.

Now, I need to access the last-inserted Key inside the Dict

Answer 1

Why don't you just extend the dictionary class to add in a last key inserted property. Something like the following maybe?

public class ExtendedDictionary : Dictionary
{
    private int lastKeyInserted = -1;

    public int LastKeyInserted
    {
        get { return lastKeyInserted; }
        set { lastKeyInserted = value; }
    }

    public void AddNew(string s, int i)
    {
        lastKeyInserted = i;

        base.Add(s, i);
    }
}
