SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>.IDictionary.Keys Property

Definition

Gets an ICollection containing the keys of the IDictionary.

property System::Collections::ICollection ^ System::Collections::IDictionary::Keys { System::Collections::ICollection ^ get(); };
System.Collections.ICollection System.Collections.IDictionary.Keys { get; }
member this.System.Collections.IDictionary.Keys : System.Collections.ICollection
 ReadOnly Property Keys As ICollection Implements IDictionary.Keys

Property Value

An ICollection containing the keys of the IDictionary.

Examples

The following code example shows how to use the Keys property of the System.Collections.IDictionary interface with a SortedDictionary<TKey,TValue>, to list the keys in the dictionary. The example also shows how to enumerate the key/value pairs in the dictionary; note that the enumerator for the System.Collections.IDictionary interface returns DictionaryEntry objects rather than KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue> objects.

The code example is part of a larger example, including output, provided for the IDictionary.Add method.

public class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new sorted dictionary of strings, with string keys,
        // and access it using the IDictionary interface.
        //
        IDictionary openWith = new SortedDictionary<string, string>();

        // Add some elements to the dictionary. There are no
        // duplicate keys, but some of the values are duplicates.
        // IDictionary.Add throws an exception if incorrect types
        // are supplied for key or value.
        openWith.Add("txt", "notepad.exe");
        openWith.Add("bmp", "paint.exe");
        openWith.Add("dib", "paint.exe");
        openWith.Add("rtf", "wordpad.exe");

Remarks

The keys in the returned ICollection are sorted according to the Comparer property and are guaranteed to be in the same order as the corresponding values in the ICollection returned by the Values property.

Getting the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
