.NET: Non-generic for KeyValuePair<string, string>?

Question

I could've sworn that before System.Collections.Generic, there was a class that was effectively KeyValuePair<string, string>.

In other words, it was an object with one two members: a name or key, and value, and both were typed as strings.

Anyone know what I'm referring to?

Answer 1

Its properties are objects (not strings), but maybe you're looking for DictionaryEntry because it's the object type returned when you iterate a StringDictionary.

Answer 2

The class you are looking for is the StringDictionary.
