C# | Insert into OrderedDictionary with key and value at specified index (original) (raw)

Last Updated : 01 Feb, 2019

OrderedDictionary.Insert(Int32, Object, Object) method is used to insert a new entry into the OrderedDictionary collection with the specified key and value at the specified index.Syntax:

public void Insert (int index, object key, object value);

Parameters:

index : It is the zero-based index at which the element should be inserted.key : It is the key of the entry to add.value : It is the value of the entry to add. The value can be null.

Exceptions:

Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way: Example 1:

CSHARP `

// C# code to insert entry into // OrderedDictionary with key and // value at the specified index using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;

class GFG {

// Driver method
public static void Main()
{

    // Creating a orderedDictionary named myDict
    OrderedDictionary myDict = new OrderedDictionary();

    // Adding key and value in myDict
    myDict.Add("key1", "value1");
    myDict.Add("key2", "value2");
    myDict.Add("key3", "value3");
    myDict.Add("key4", "value4");
    myDict.Add("key5", "value5");

    // Displaying the number of element initially
    Console.WriteLine("Number of elements are : " 
                                 + myDict.Count);

    // Displaying the elements in myDict
    foreach(DictionaryEntry de in myDict)
        Console.WriteLine(de.Key + " -- " + de.Value);

    // Inserting entry into OrderedDictionary
    // with key and value at the specified index
    myDict.Insert(2, "Geeks", "Noida");

    // Displaying the number of element initially
    Console.WriteLine("Number of elements are : " 
                                  + myDict.Count);

    // Displaying the elements in myDict
    foreach(DictionaryEntry de in myDict)
        Console.WriteLine(de.Key + " -- " + de.Value);
}

}

`

Output:

Number of elements are : 5 key1 -- value1 key2 -- value2 key3 -- value3 key4 -- value4 key5 -- value5 Number of elements are : 6 key1 -- value1 key2 -- value2 Geeks -- Noida key3 -- value3 key4 -- value4 key5 -- value5

Example 2:

CSHARP `

// C# code to insert entry into // OrderedDictionary with key and // value at the specified index using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized;

class GFG {

// Driver method
public static void Main()
{

    // Creating a orderedDictionary named myDict
    OrderedDictionary myDict = new OrderedDictionary();

    // Adding key and value in myDict
    myDict.Add("A", "Apple");
    myDict.Add("B", "Banana");
    myDict.Add("C", "Cat");
    myDict.Add("D", "Dog");

    // Displaying the number of element initially
    Console.WriteLine("Number of elements are : " 
                                  + myDict.Count);

    // Displaying the elements in myDict
    foreach(DictionaryEntry de in myDict)
        Console.WriteLine(de.Key + " -- " + de.Value);

    // Inserting entry into OrderedDictionary
    // with key and value at the specified index
    // This should raise "ArgumentOutOfRangeException"
    // as index is out of range
    myDict.Insert(10, "E", "Elephant");

    // Displaying the number of element initially
    Console.WriteLine("Number of elements are : " 
                                  + myDict.Count);

    // Displaying the elements in myDict
    foreach(DictionaryEntry de in myDict)
        Console.WriteLine(de.Key + " -- " + de.Value);
}

}
