This collection is based on the NameObjectCollectionBase class. However, unlike the NameObjectCollectionBase, this class stores multiple string values under a single key.
This class can be used for headers, query strings and form data.
Each element is a key/value pair.
The capacity of a NameValueCollection is the number of elements the NameValueCollection can hold. As elements are added to a NameValueCollection, the capacity is automatically increased as required through reallocation.
