It's a typical use. Choose an appropriate HashTableSize when creating the container (approx.the number of the elements you are going to store or more), you can test it with different hash functions and see through the statistics which one is better (the longer the chains i.e. more void slots, the longer the fetch times).

Thanks Dean. We are starting off with about 3400 objects and will be growing from there, but not at a rapid pace. Wow, only realized it now. Those objects are math lessons created over the last 8 years. Quite a collection. :-) Oh, and for those wondering, I'm not fully populating all 3400+ objects, they only contain enough information to appear in a treeview. A proxy pattern is used to populate each object only when needed.
