Is there a C# class that provides map with weak keys or/and weak values?
Or at least WeakHashMap like functionality.

In .Net 3.5 and below, there is no such structure available. However I wrote up one for a side project and posted the code at the following location.
Starting .NET 4.0, there is a structure available called
ConditionalWeakTablein the Runtime.CompilerServices namespace that also does the trick.
