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);

and, by the way, how do I change my avatar here?

Somewhere I saw this I am not sure if it helps: if the dictionary is declared as Dictionary list = new Dictionary(); then you can set the value for the key test as follows list[test] = list[test] + 1; now the value for the key will get incremented by 1. But do let me know if you can change your avatar... Even I am facing the same challenge... :) Thanks...
