That will be;

ms.Add("key3", null);
ms.Add("key2", null);
ms.Add("key1", null);
foreach (string key in ms.Keys) {
Debug.WriteLine(key);
}

and

Collection ms = new Collection();
ms.Add("key3", "key3");
ms.Add("key2", "key2");
ms.Add("key1", "key1");
for (int x = 1; (x <= ms.Count); x++) {
Debug.WriteLine(ms(x));
}

Patrick, why not try the SortedList object. It sorts the list on the key you specify:

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class SamplesSortedList {

public static void Main() {

// Creates and initializes a new SortedList.
SortedList mySL = new SortedList();
mySL.Add("First", "Hello");
mySL.Add("Second", "World");
mySL.Add("Third", "!");

// Displays the properties and values of the SortedList.
Console.WriteLine( "mySL" );
Console.WriteLine( " Count: {0}", mySL.Count );
Console.WriteLine( " Capacity: {0}", mySL.Capacity );
Console.WriteLine( " Keys and Values:" );
PrintKeysAndValues( mySL );
}


public static void PrintKeysAndValues( SortedList myList ) {
Console.WriteLine( "\t-KEY-\t-VALUE-" );
for ( int i = 0; i < myList.Count; i++ ) {
Console.WriteLine( "\t{0}:\t{1}", myList.GetKey(i), myList.GetByIndex(i) );
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
/*
This code produces the following output.

mySL
Count: 3
Capacity: 16
Keys and Values:
-KEY- -VALUE-
First: Hello
Second: World
Third: !

i guess kris you are missing the point....

are you saying the order in wich you insert is preserved ????

You CAN use collections in C#.
