The Hashtable class represents a collection of key-and-value pairs that are organized based on the hash code of the key. The key is used to access the items in the collection. Hashtable.Add(Object, Object) Method is used to adds an element with the specified key and value into the Hashtable. Syntax:
public virtual void Add(object key, object value);
Parameters:
key: It is the specified key of the element to add of type System.Object. value: It is the specified value of the element to add of type System.Object. The value can be null.
Exceptions:
  • ArgumentNullException : If the key is null.
  • ArgumentException : If an element with the same key already exists in the Hashtable.
  • NotSupportedException : Either Hashtable is read-only or Hashtable has a fixed size.
