How To Modify An Element in the Dictionary Class?
=======================================

C# has this cool Dictionary class that you can use like a Hash Table. Is there a way of changing the value of an indexed element without resorting to removing it like this?

               int value = runningcount[city];
               runningcount.Remove(city);
               runningcount.Add(city, ++value);

I haven't tried this, but according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9tee9ht2.aspx you can probably use

runningcount[city]++;

Note

The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item property.

Sweet.

I have a follow-up question to post in another thread.
