How do I get the key and value of item from OrderedDictionary by index?
How do I get the key and value of item from OrderedDictionary by index?
There is not a direct built-in way to do this. This is because for an OrderedDictionary the index is the key; if you want the actual key then you need to track it yourself. Probably the most straightforward way is to copy the keys to an indexable collection:
// dict is OrderedDictionary
object[] keys = new object[dict.Keys.Count];
dict.Keys.CopyTo(keys, 0);
for(int i = 0; i < dict.Keys.Count; i++) {
Console.WriteLine(
"Index = {0}, Key = {1}, Value = {2}",
i,
keys[i],
dict[i]
);
}
You could encapsulate this behavior into a new class that wraps access to the OrderedDictionary.
