Question

Can anybody help out with the syntax of something like this:

Dictionary<string,string> dict = new Dictionary<string,string>()
{
         foreach(var i in collection<Items>)
-----add i to dictionary
}

Answer 1

It’s not really clear to me what you mean, but the ToDictionary LINQ extension method may help you. For example:

var dictionary = collection.ToDictionary(item => item.Key,
                                         item => item.Value);

(Obviously you can vary how the key and value are obtained from the item.)
