Question

Is there a way to convert Dictionary<string, obj> to collection of objects such that each single object in the collection includes the key as another property

Here is the class def for obj

class someclass
{
  string property1;
  string property2;
}

After conversion, I am expecting each object in the collection to be like

obj.property1
obj.property2
obj.Key

I have been struggling with this since along time and I seek some help. any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Something like

var myCollection = from de in myDictionary 
                   select new
                   {
                       de.Value.property1,
                       de.Value.property2,
                       de.Key
                   }.ToList();  // or .ToArray()

should do the trick.

That will return a List of a new anonymous type with the properties you requested.
