Check whether key/value pair exists in hashtable collection

Question

I have hastable

Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
hash.Add("a", "1");
hash.Add("b","2");
hash.Add("c","3");
hash.Add("c","4"

Now I need to check Key = "c" and value= "3" combination is already exits in hashtable or not.

hash.ContainsKey value function cheks weather key is exists or not and ContainsValue function checks weather value is exists or not. But if I tried

if( hash.Contains("c") && hash.ContainsValue("3"))
{
  // some code heree
}

than it will return true for both "c,3" and "c,4" combinathion.

I need to check key/value pair combination how can I check that ?

Answer 1

if(hash.ContainsKey("c") && hash["c"] == "3") { }

Answer 2

You can check if key exists & then check for the value of the corresponding key.

if(hash.ContainsKey("key") && hash["key"] == "3")
{
    // contains key and value
}
