Namespace:  System.Collections
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
ReadOnly Property Values As ICollection
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As IDictionary
Dim value As ICollection

value = instance.Values

Property Value

Type: System.Collections..::.ICollection
An ICollection object containing the values in the IDictionary object.

The order of the values in the returned ICollection object is unspecified, but is guaranteed to be the same order as the corresponding keys in the ICollection returned by the Keys property.

The following code example demonstrates how to implement the Values property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IDictionary class.

Visual Basic
Public ReadOnly Property Values() As ICollection Implements IDictionary.Values
    Get
        ' Return an array where each item is a value.
        Dim valueArray() As Object = New Object(ItemsInUse - 1) {}
        Dim n As Integer
        For n = 0 To ItemsInUse - 1
            valueArray(n) = items(n).Value
        Next n

        Return valueArray
    End Get
End Property
C#
public ICollection Values
{
    get
    {
        // Return an array where each item is a value.
        Object[] values = new Object[ItemsInUse];
        for (Int32 n = 0; n < ItemsInUse; n++)
            values[n] = items[n].Value;
        return values;
    }
}
Visual C++
public:
    virtual property ICollection^ Values
    {
        ICollection^ get()
        {
            // Return an array where each item is a value.
            array<Object^>^ values = gcnew array<Object^>(itemsInUse);
            for (int i = 0; i < itemsInUse; i++)
            {
                values[i] = items[i]->Value;
            }
            return values;
        }
    }
