Maybe, that thing is old, predating generics so there might be some boxing overhead depending on what you stick in it, unless they've done a generic version of it.
It's hard to comment from this distance, but if the state machine might change, surely its better to model it at runtime so you just need to adjust some static data rather than go back to source...
Profiling is always a good option, to see where the bottlenecks lie. Anyway, best of luck!

For a dictionary then you are going to need to compute the hash.
Jörgen Andersson wrote: And as the files
And then you must compute the hash for each of those.
I suspect this really depends on the size and probably the standard deviation of the sizes for each string.
I haven't thought this through and certainly have not profiled it but a tree might be better. The sparse tree is built with each fork having one character. Next level has 26 (or whatever size your set is) characters.
Keep in mind that a hash requires sequencing through each character. So a tree is somewhat similar to that EXCEPT when you reach the end (leaf of tree) you have already reached your delegate. So no further operations to look up.
If each level has the entire character set you can use an array and do a direct look up to the next level (the character is the index into the array.)
Carefully calculate the memory space. You could use a sparse tree but that will slow it down.
And maybe you should look at unmanaged code. Specifically C++.
One advantage to C++ (and C) is that you can force a string to be treated as a numeric. So a value like "ABCD" can be cast directly to a 32 bit unsigned integer. And of course you could use 64 bit also.
The problem with that of course is that you must then deal with 4/8 character size blocks only.

You should actually profile the application. Not specific code but the entire application. If you want it to be fast then you should find the exact places where it is slow.

A tree is a really good suggestion!
Thanks!

Ah, yes to do that in C# I would need to use pointer indirection operators.
I hate pointers.

Not if you're using a recent version of .NET, or have a reference to the System.Memory NuGet package[^]:
ReadOnlySpan<char> input = "ABCD";
ReadOnlySpan<byte> bytes = System.Runtime.InteropServices.MemoryMarshal.AsBytes(input);
int value = System.Runtime.InteropServices.MemoryMarshal.Read<int>(bytes);
Of course, you may still need to take the "endianness" of the system into account.

If you want to treat 4 chars at a time by treating them as ints, this doesn't look like something that would save CPU cycles. I admit that I haven't tried to compile the code and studied the instructions generated.
Endianness isn't your only concern. Don't forget that UTF16, the internal character format of C#, also can contain surrogates and other funny elements.jschell wrote: So a value like "ABCD" can be cast directly to a 32 bit unsigned integer. obviously expecting a result of 1 094 861 636, hex 41424344 on big-endian machines, 1 145 258 561, hex 44434241 on little-endian machines. With UTF16 representation, the value 4325441, hex 00420041, encodes only two characters, "AB", not four as the C++ programmer expected. (C# never used 8 bit char representation, so the C# should not expect that four chars are packed into a 32 bit int.)

write your question in English and NOT with kyrillic letters ...

I'm sorry, your question makes no sense. First of all, this is an English speaking site so please post questions in English. Second, when I translated your question, it said:
P.... didn’t save Editor3D_Render_Control for 2022 MS VStuio What does that even mean?

What did you use to translate? Google produces "screw up" instead of "save" for me.

If you mean this control: Editor3D: A Windows.Forms Render Control with interactive 3D Editor in C#[^] then don't post this under a "generic" forum like C# - if you got the code from an article, then there is a "Add a Comment or Question" button at the bottom of that article, which causes an email to be sent to the author. They are then alerted that you wish to speak to them.
Posting this here relies on them "dropping by" and realising it is for them.

In VS 2022 I can not find any templates for WinUI. I installed Windows SDK and WinUI controls but I can not find any templates. Any idea why ?
Thanks

Hello friend! I am developing a Windows application (WinForms) to manage universities with c#, it is an application that is very complex because it is a Multi-user application, I want that for this application I can use a single database centralized by all users of this application, which will be managed by myself and my development team. Is this possible? What would be the best and least expensive solution, taking into account my capacity? Also in terms of cost, between a SQL SERVER EXPRESS database and a MySQL database, which one might be better for me? And which one is well suited to C#, using Crystal Report and Visual Studio as well? Your answers will help me a lot to make a decision and also develop an efficient solution.
I'm thinking about whether it's possible to host only my SQL SERVER EXPRESS, or MySQL database to which my Windows software or application designed in C# can connect remotely so that the various users of my device can access the remote database
Thank you for your help

You didn't specify anything about capacity.

Manage what? Class schedules? Budgets? Lawn care?
theo tuombe wrote: What would be the best and least expensive solution
No idea. Even if you had all of the missing detail anyone that claimed that they could decide both of those would be, let us say, less well informed about the subject than one might hope.
theo tuombe wrote: And which one is well suited to C#
This is one of those factors where "best" has many meanings. If you plan on being a windows shop then staying with windows which means SQL Server is probably going to be the least amount of trouble.
Now if you or others that work on this have experience both in C# and other data persistence stores then there are other options. But then I suspect you would have already been able to evaluate that without asking here.
If you are VERY careful with how you write your code and your design then it is possible that you can switch databases relatively easily if you find you want a different solution. But unfortunately that again is probably dependent on experience.

Thank you very much Dear jschell for your answer to my question posed in the forum.
"taking into account my capacity?" I mean taking into account the cost,
"managing universities with c#" is really the input errors. To be clear with my question, I wanted to ask that I develop a WinForms application to manage universities with the programming language c#, the application I develop is an application that must manage the entire university including student management, budget management, course management etc.. It's an application that I want, after development, to be able to deploy to different universities, which are then the end users of my application. So I'm asking what solution I can use so that my application installed on different users' computers can use a single database! without error connection to database??
Thank you
