I'm curious as to what people think of this source.

Any comments, questions, concerns?

I have a concern that your packet handler is less efficient than just using a switch. I talked to Hybrid about it too and he said the same thing. I would double check on if that's an appropriate method.

Hmm, I had a discussion with Unknownone about it a long long time ago (I've been using this way for a long *** time :P) and he said it was a pretty efficient way to do it.
I might do some further testing.

Well, if you think about it, a switch statement would be much simpler. I can see where a dictionary would be more efficient if the switch contained more than 50 cases, but I can't see it being more efficient with less than 30. (Either way, it's just checking values- but a switch is simpler than a dictionary and possibly more efficient).

Definitely do some testing. As I said, it's just a concern. I'd be interested in which is faster. I'm too busy to work with anything anymore (co related).

This is how you find the packet processor:

public TValue this[TKey key]
{
    get
    {
        int index = this.FindEntry(key);
        if (index >= 0)
        {
            return this.entries[index].value;
        }
        ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException();
        return default(TValue);
    }
    set
    {
        this.Insert(key, value, false);
    }
}

private int FindEntry(TKey key)
{
    if (key == null)
    {
        ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentNullException(ExceptionArgument.key);
    }
    if (this.buckets != null)
    {
        int num = this.comparer.GetHashCode(key) & 0x7fffffff;
        for (int i = this.buckets[num % this.buckets.Length]; i >= 0; i = this.entries[i].next)
        {
            if ((this.entries[i].hashCode == num) && this.comparer.Equals(this.entries[i].key, key))
            {
                return i;
            }
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

Where a switch case will just take x from y.

Imagine 1000 entries in your dictionary.
What seems faster in your own opinion, looping through all the entries or taking x from y?

A switch case would be much faster IMO.

That doesn't loop through all the entries in the dictionary.
It's a hashtable.

Most of the time it's a single lookup to find the entry, unless two entries have the same hash (mod the number of buckets) in which it then loops through to find the specific entry.

For 1000 entries it's likely to find it in one or very few tries (depending on the amount of "buckets" and the distribution of the hash algorithm).

Weird it looks like it's looking for the source of my KinSocket dll.
I don't know why it would be doing that :S
