Code Monkey’s Cubicle

In a project I’m working on I am storing results in a dictionary.  While I could just be storing them in a list I thought the speed and ease of use was better for a dictionary.  [In fact it turned out to be a great choice because due to collisions in the results I discovered that the data was actually bad and needed to be cleaned up.]

Once I had the results through I needed loop through them to export them to a better file format.  At first I wasn’t exactly sure how to do this.  I new a dictionary implemented the IEnumerable interface I just didn’t know how to access it.

Here is how:

var dictionary as new Dictionary();
 
dictionary.Add(obj1.GetHashCode(), obj1);
dictionary.Add(obj2.GetHashCode(), obj2);
dictionary.Add(obj3.GetHashCode(), obj3);
 
foreach (KeyValuePair result in dictionary)
{
     Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Key = {0} - Value = {1}", result.Key, result.Value.ToString());
}
