Question

What is the most efficient way of turning the list of values of a dictionary into an array?

For example, if I have a Dictionary where Key is String and Value is Foo, I want to get Foo[]

I am using VS 2005, C# 2.0

Answer 1

// dict is Dictionary<string, Foo>  Foo[] foos = new Foo[dict.Count]; dict.Values.CopyTo(foos, 0);  // or in C# 3.0: var foos = dict.Values.ToArray();
