Hi, Could anybody recommend me KeyValue Store supporting C#?

Question

Hi,

I am looking up keyvalue stores that support C#, but i found that most of them are implemented by Java. Could anybody recommend some to me? It would be super if it is very light-weight, i.e., appearing as a library. thanks!!

Redis is a excellent one. And there is amazing c# redis client ServiceStackRedis also available. Its very lightweight.

Answer 4

is this what you mean by a key Value pair..like a hashtable()

Hashtable = ht = new HashTable();

or

Dictionary d1 = new Dictionary();

or

Dictionary d2 = new Dictionary();

etc..

If you want an in-process, persistent key-value store (like Berkeley Db) then take a look at the PersistentDictionary which is part of the ManagedEsent project. A persistent dictionary looks like a normal dictionary but is backed by a database. If you build from the current sources then you will get Linq support, which lets you do queries.
