# DictionaryCollection Class

> An instance of the DictionaryCollection class contains all initialized dictionaries represented through objects which are inherited from the abstract class Dictionary. It is inherited from the abstract class System.Collections.CollectionBase and implements the System.Collections.IEnumerable and System.Collections.IEnumerator interfaces. For a list of properties, methods and events of these classes and interfaces see the .NET Framework reference. TX Spell .NET provides the OpenOfficeDictionary and UserDictionary classes to create dictionaries that are compatible with the DictionaryCollection class.

The default value is false.
