Which collection for storing unique strings?

Question

I\'m looking for a collection just like Dictionary(OF Key, Value) but I don\'t actually need a key and value. Key itself is enough. So something like Coll

Answer 1

HashSet<T> would work for this. It lets you store a unique set of values, without "abusing" a dictionary.

Answer 2

List would be better than Collection as noted in this semi-duplicate question.

A hashset in 3.5 would be better still. What version of .net are you using?

Answer 3

I think what you want is a HashSet<T>.
