Why is there no generic implementation of OrderedDictionary?

But that just confirms that it does not exist. Not why it does not exist.

But why did Microsoft not include it in the base .net library? Surely they had a reason for not building a generic.... but what is it?

Thanks

EDIT: Perhpase this should be moved to programmers.se.com... but I don't know how to move it.

Good question, I've occasionally been frustrated by this lack as well. – Kirk Woll Nov 02 '10 at 03:19

What was the duplicate post for this? I see no links to a duplicate post that answers "why"... – Jaxidian Feb 03 '11 at 16:35
