IDictionary or NameValueCollection

Question

I have a scenario where-in I can use either NameValueCollection or IDictionary. But I would like to know which one will be better performance-wise.

-- Using NameValu

Answer 1

I agree with fatcat and lomaxx (and up-voted for both answers). I would add that performance of collection types should most likely be the last consideration when choosing between collection types. Use the type that most fits your usage needs. If you are in a performance critical section of code (and most likely, you're not), then the only answer is to measure each case - don't believe the Interweb, believe the numbers.
