C# in a Nutshell

Name

IHashCodeProvider

Synopsis

This interface implements a custom hash function to supply a hashcode to an object. Normally hashtables use System.Object.GetHashCode() for hash keys. However, if a Hashtable is constructed using an object that implements this interface, GetHashCode() can be used to provide a customized hash function. CaseInsensitiveHashCodeProvider is an example of a custom hash function.
