SortedList<TKey, TValue>.IDictionary.Values Property
Gets an ICollection containing the values in the IDictionary.
Namespace: System.Collections.Generic
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Collections.ICollectionAn ICollection containing the values in the IDictionary.
Implements
IDictionary.ValuesThe order of the values in the ICollection is the same as the order in the SortedList<TKey, TValue>.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
The following code example shows how to use the IDictionary.Values property of the System.Collections.IDictionary interface with a SortedList<TKey, TValue>, to list the values in the sorted list. The example also shows how to enumerate the key/value pairs in the sorted list; note that the enumerator for the System.Collections.IDictionary interface returns DictionaryEntry objects rather than KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> objects.
The code example is part of a larger example, including output, provided for the IDictionary.Add method.
using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; public class Example { public static void Main() { // Create a new sorted list of strings, with string keys, // and access it using the IDictionary interface. // IDictionary openWith = new SortedList<string, string>(); // Add some elements to the sorted list. There are no // duplicate keys, but some of the values are duplicates. // IDictionary.Add throws an exception if incorrect types // are supplied for key or value. openWith.Add("txt", "notepad.exe"); openWith.Add("bmp", "paint.exe"); openWith.Add("dib", "paint.exe"); openWith.Add("rtf", "wordpad.exe"); ... // To get the values alone, use the Values property. ICollection icoll = openWith.Values; // The elements of the collection are strongly typed // with the type that was specified for values, // even though the ICollection interface is not strongly // typed. Console.WriteLine(); foreach( string s in icoll ) { Console.WriteLine("Value = {0}", s); } ... // When you use foreach to enumerate sorted list elements // with the IDictionary interface, the elements are retrieved // as DictionaryEntry objects instead of KeyValuePair objects. Console.WriteLine(); foreach( DictionaryEntry de in openWith ) { Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}, Value = {1}", de.Key, de.Value); } ... } }
