    // Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.

    // Add some entries to a hashtable.
    CkHashtable hashTab = new CkHashtable();

    hashTab.AddStr("aaa","111");
    hashTab.AddStr("bbb","222");
    hashTab.AddStr("ccc","333");

    // Serialize to XML
    CkStringBuilder sb = new CkStringBuilder();
    hashTab.ToXmlSb(sb);
    Log.i(TAG, sb.getAsString());
    Log.i(TAG, "---");

    // The output is as follows.  Each hash table entry
    // is contained in an "e" node.  The entry's key
    // is in the "k" node, and the value in the "v" node.

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf8-8"?>
    // <hashtable>
    // <e><k>aaa</k><v>111</v></e>

    // <e><k>ccc</k><v>333</v></e>

    // Now load (deserialize) into a new hash table.
    CkHashtable hashTab2 = new CkHashtable();
    hashTab2.AddFromXmlSb(sb);

    // Get the hash table keys, and lookup each (to show 
    // that the hash table was correctly deserialized).
    // The GetKeys method can return the keys in any order.
    CkStringTable sTable = new CkStringTable();
    hashTab2.GetKeys(sTable);
