Question

I want to display the values in a dictionary in separate labels. I get the dictionary like this:

Dictionary<string, int> counts = new Dictionary<string, int>();
foreach (string code in myCodeList)
{
    if (!counts.ContainsKey(code))
    {
       counts.Add(code, 1);
    }
    else
    {
       counts[code]++;
    }
}

//now counts contains the expected values

I want to generate labels dynamically since elements in counts can only be determined at runtime.

Dictionary<string, int> counts = new Dictionary<string, int>();
foreach (string code in myCodeList)
{
    if (!counts.ContainsKey(code))
    {
       counts.Add(code, 1);
    }
    else
    {
       counts[code]++;
    }
}

Point p = new Point(12, 12); //initial location - adjust it suitably
foreach (var item in counts)
{
    var label = new Label();
    label.Text = item.Key + " - " + item.Value;
    label.Location = new Point(p.X, p.Y);
    label.Tag = item; //optional
    Controls.Add(label);

    p.Y += label.Height + 6; //to align vertically
    //p.X += label.Width + 18; //to align horizontally. 
}

This is the basic approach. All you have to do is adjust the variable p according to your design to locate the labels properly.
