OrderedDictionary::Values Property
Gets an ICollection object containing the values in the OrderedDictionary collection.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Collections::ICollection^An ICollection object containing the values in the OrderedDictionary collection.
Implements
IDictionary::ValuesThe returned ICollection object is not a static copy; instead, the ICollection refers back to the values in the original OrderedDictionary collection. Therefore, changes to the OrderedDictionary continue to be reflected in the ICollection.
The following code example demonstrates the creation and population of an OrderedDictionary collection, and then prints the contents to the console. In this example, the Keys and Values properties are passed to a method that displays the contents. This code is part of a larger code example that can be viewed at OrderedDictionary.
// Creates and initializes a OrderedDictionary. OrderedDictionary^ myOrderedDictionary = gcnew OrderedDictionary(); myOrderedDictionary->Add("testKey1", "testValue1"); myOrderedDictionary->Add("testKey2", "testValue2"); myOrderedDictionary->Add("keyToDelete", "valueToDelete"); myOrderedDictionary->Add("testKey3", "testValue3"); ICollection^ keyCollection = myOrderedDictionary->Keys; ICollection^ valueCollection = myOrderedDictionary->Values; // Display the contents using the key and value collections DisplayContents(keyCollection, valueCollection, myOrderedDictionary->Count);
// Displays the contents of the OrderedDictionary from its keys and values static void DisplayContents( ICollection^ keyCollection, ICollection^ valueCollection, int dictionarySize) { array<String^>^ myKeys = gcnew array<String^>(dictionarySize); array<String^>^ myValues = gcnew array<String^>(dictionarySize); keyCollection->CopyTo(myKeys, 0); valueCollection->CopyTo(myValues, 0); // Displays the contents of the OrderedDictionary Console::WriteLine(" INDEX KEY VALUE"); for (int i = 0; i < dictionarySize; i++) { Console::WriteLine(" {0,-5} {1,-25} {2}", i, myKeys[i], myValues[i]); } Console::WriteLine(); }
