Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.KeyCollection Constructor

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.KeyCollection class that reflects the keys in the specified Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.

C#
public KeyCollection(System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey,TValue> dictionary);

Parameters

dictionary
Dictionary<TKey,TValue>

The Dictionary<TKey,TValue> whose keys are reflected in the new Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.KeyCollection.

Exceptions

Remarks

The Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.KeyCollection is not a static copy; instead, the Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.KeyCollection refers back to the keys in the original Dictionary<TKey,TValue>.

This constructor is an O(1) operation.
