Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property Values As ICollection(Of TValue)
ICollection<TValue> Values { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<TValue>
An ICollection<T> containing the values in the object that implements IDictionary<TKey, TValue>.

Remarks

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

Examples

The following code example shows how to enumerate values alone using the Values 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 values alone, use the Values property.
Dim icoll As ICollection(Of String) = openWith.Values

' The elements of the ValueCollection are strongly typed
' with the type that was specified for dictionary values.
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
For Each s As String In icoll
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Value = {0}", s) & vbCrLf
Next s
// To get the values alone, use the Values property.
ICollection<string> icoll = openWith.Values;

// 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("Value = {0}", s) + "\n";
}
