Question

I have create a Class named “EngDictionary”. and Then i define a dictionary in a function
e.g:

public void Dict()
    {
        Dictionary<string, string> d = new Dictionary<string, string>();
        d.Add("Classifieds", "Kleinanzeigen");
        //d.Add("windows", 5);   
    }

Now i want to access above defined dictionary from my main class for retrieving the keys and values of my Dictionary. Please Suggest me some code. I am using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition, Win Application

Answer 1

Declare Dictionary as class property.

public class Dict {

   private Dictionary<string, string> dict;
   public SomeDictionary { get dict; set dict = value; }

   public Dict() {
      dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
      dict.Add("Classifieds", "Kleinanzeigen");
   }
}

In other class:

Dict d = new Dict();
string test = d.SomeDictionary["Classifieds"];
Console.WriteLine(test);
