Observable.ToDictionary<TSource, TKey, TElement> Method (IObservable<TSource>, Func<TSource, TKey>, Func<TSource, TElement>, IEqualityComparer<TKey>)

Creates a dictionary from an observable sequence according to a specified key selector function, a comparer, and an element selector function.

JScript does not support generic types and methods.

Type Parameters

  • TSource
    The type of source.
  • TKey
    The type of key.
  • TElement
    The type of element.

Parameters

  • source
    Type: System.IObservable<TSource>
    An observable sequence to create a dictionary for.
  • keySelector
    Type: System.Func<TSource, TKey>
    A function to extract a key from each element.
  • elementSelector
    Type: System.Func<TSource, TElement>
    A transform function to produce a result element value from each element.

Return Value

Type: System.IObservable<IDictionary<TKey, TElement>>
The dictionary from an observable sequence according to a specified key selector function, a comparer, and an element selector function.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type IObservable<TSource>. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see or .
