 Values Property

This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.NET Framework Class Library
Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.Values Property

Gets a collection containing the values in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).

Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property Values As Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As Dictionary
Dim value As Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection

value = instance.Values
C#
public Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection Values { get; }
Visual C++
public:
property Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection^ Values {
    Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection^ get ();
}
JScript
public function get Values () : Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection

The order of the values in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection is unspecified, but it is the same order as the associated keys in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.KeyCollection returned by the Keys property.

The returned Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection is not a static copy; instead, the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection refers back to the values in the original Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>). Therefore, changes to the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) continue to be reflected in the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>)..::.ValueCollection.

Getting the value of this property is an O(1) operation.

This code example shows how to enumerate the values in the dictionary using the Values property, and how to enumerate the keys and values in the dictionary.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) class.

Visual Basic
' To get the values alone, use the Values property.
Dim valueColl As _
    Dictionary(Of String, String).ValueCollection = _
    openWith.Values

' The elements of the ValueCollection are strongly typed
' with the type that was specified for dictionary values.
Console.WriteLine()
For Each s As String In  valueColl
    Console.WriteLine("Value = {0}", s)
Next s


...


' When you use foreach to enumerate dictionary elements,
' the elements are retrieved as KeyValuePair objects.
Console.WriteLine()
For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In openWith
    Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}, Value = {1}", _
        kvp.Key, kvp.Value)
Next kvp

C#
// To get the values alone, use the Values property.
Dictionary<string, string>.ValueCollection valueColl =
    openWith.Values;

// The elements of the ValueCollection are strongly typed
// with the type that was specified for dictionary values.
Console.WriteLine();
foreach( string s in valueColl )
{
    Console.WriteLine("Value = {0}", s);
}


...


// When you use foreach to enumerate dictionary elements,
// the elements are retrieved as KeyValuePair objects.
Console.WriteLine();
foreach( KeyValuePair<string, string> kvp in openWith )
{
    Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}, Value = {1}", 
        kvp.Key, kvp.Value);
}
