Question

Andrzej Wegierski · Answer

Yes. And addition with cast

bilnaad · Answer

That's the same thing. Only added 200 to the original value :)

Andrzej Wegierski · Answer

It should be: hashtable[IL]=Convert.ToInt32(hashtable[IL])+200; I think.

I'm sorry I gave you a terribly wrong answer in my first post :( It can be done ^_^ When you have assigned the value to the key: hashtable.Add(IL 500); You can change the value like: hashtable[IL] = 700; This should solve your problem. (Sorry for the incorrect post)

first using hash table can u tell me how delete the the entry from the hash table for example Hashtable H = new Hashtable(); H.Add(IL 500); //want to delete this entry and add a new entry with the same key as H.Add(IL 700); will it work H.Delete(IL500);

hashtables are not designed to change the values of keys. It's for easy store/retrieve functionality. But you could remove the key first and then add it again with the new value
