Question

I have a Dictionary<string,int> dictionary1 and I need to convert it into a List<Data> where Data has the properties lable = dictionary1.key and value = dictionary1.value. I don’t want to use a for/foreach loop (written by myself) because in order to avoid it I am trying to use a Dictionary.

Another option would be having two different dictionaries (dictionary2 and dictionary3) where dictionary2<string,keyOfDictionary1> and dictionary3<string,valueOfDictionary1>.

Do I make sense? Is that possible? Is there a better option?

Answer 1

Assuming:

class Data
{
    public string Label { get; set; }

    public int Value { get; set; }
}

Then:

Dictionary<string, int> dic;
List<Data> list = dic.Select(p => new Data { Label = p.Key, Value = p.Value }).ToList();
