Question

I have List<String>, i need to convert it to Dictionary<int,String> with auto generation of Key, is any shortest way to accomplish that? I have tried:

    var dictionary = new Dictionary<int, String>();
    int index = 0;
    list.ForEach(x=>{
      definitions.Add(index, x);
      index++;
});

but i think it is dirty way.

Answer 1

var dict = list.Select((s, i) => new { s, i }).ToDictionary(x => x.i, x => x.s);
