Last Updated : 01 Feb, 2019

ListDictionary.IsReadOnly property is used to get a value indicating whether the ListDictionary is read-only or not.Syntax:

public bool IsReadOnly { get; }

Return Value : This property always returns false.Example:

CSHARP `

// C# code to check if ListDictionary is read-only using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;

class GFG {

// Driver code
public static void Main()
{

    // Creating a ListDictionary named myDict
    ListDictionary myDict = new ListDictionary();

    myDict.Add("Australia", "Canberra");
    myDict.Add("Belgium", "Brussels");
    myDict.Add("Netherlands", "Amsterdam");
    myDict.Add("China", "Beijing");
    myDict.Add("Russia", "Moscow");
    myDict.Add("India", "New Delhi");

    // Checking if ListDictionary is read-only
    Console.WriteLine(myDict.IsReadOnly);
}

}

Output:

False

Note:

A collection that is read-only does not allow the addition, removal, or modification of elements after the collection is created.
A collection that is read-only is simply a collection with a wrapper that prevents modifying the collection. Therefore, if changes are made to the underlying collection, the read-only collection reflects those changes.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
