Public Sub Remove(ByVal key As Object) Implements IDictionary.Remove
   If key = Nothing Then
      Throw New ArgumentNullException("key")
   End If
   ' Try to find the key in the DictionaryEntry array
   Dim index As Integer
   If TryGetIndexOfKey(key, index) Then

      ' If the key is found, slide all the items up.
      Array.Copy(items, index + 1, items, index, (ItemsInUse - index) - 1)
      ItemsInUse = ItemsInUse - 1
   Else

      ' If the key is not in the dictionary, just return. 
   End If
End Sub

public void Remove(object key)
{
   if (key == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("key");
   // Try to find the key in the DictionaryEntry array
   Int32 index;
   if (TryGetIndexOfKey(key, out index))
   {
      // If the key is found, slide all the items up.
      Array.Copy(items, index + 1, items, index, ItemsInUse - index - 1);
      ItemsInUse--;
   }
