[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets an ICollection<T> containing the keys of the IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<TKey>An ICollection<T> containing the keys of the object that implements IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
The order of the keys in the returned ICollection<T> is unspecified, but it is guaranteed to be the same order as the corresponding values in the ICollection<T> returned by the Values property.
The following code example shows how to enumerate keys alone using the Keys property.
This code is part of a larger example that can be compiled and executed. See System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.
// To get the keys alone, use the Keys property. icoll = openWith.Keys; // The elements of the ValueCollection are strongly typed // with the type that was specified for dictionary values. outputBlock.Text += "\n"; foreach (string s in icoll) { outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Key = {0}", s) + "\n"; }
