<Extension()>
Public Function ToDictionary(Of TSource, TKey) (source As IEnumerable(Of TSource), keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey)) As Dictionary(Of TKey, TSource)

Type Parameters

TSource

The type of the elements of source.

TKey

The type of the key returned by keySelector.

Parameters

keySelector

Func<TSource,TKey>

A function to extract a key from each element.

Returns

A Dictionary<TKey,TValue> that contains keys and values. The values within each group are in the same order as in source.

Exceptions

source or keySelector is null.

-or-

keySelector produces a key that is null.

keySelector produces duplicate keys for two elements.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use ToDictionary<TSource,TKey>(IEnumerable, Func<TSource,TKey>) to create a Dictionary<TKey,TValue> by using a key selector.

class Package
{
    public string Company { get; set; }
    public double Weight { get; set; }
    public long TrackingNumber { get; set; }
}

public static void ToDictionaryEx1()
{
    List<Package> packages =
        new List<Package>
            { new Package { Company = "Coho Vineyard", Weight = 25.2, TrackingNumber = 89453312L },
              new Package { Company = "Lucerne Publishing", Weight = 18.7, TrackingNumber = 89112755L },
              new Package { Company = "Wingtip Toys", Weight = 6.0, TrackingNumber = 299456122L },
              new Package { Company = "Adventure Works", Weight = 33.8, TrackingNumber = 4665518773L } };

    // Create a Dictionary of Package objects,
    // using TrackingNumber as the key.
    Dictionary<long, Package> dictionary =
        packages.ToDictionary(p => p.TrackingNumber);

    foreach (KeyValuePair<long, Package> kvp in dictionary)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(
            "Key {0}: {1}, {2} pounds",
            kvp.Key,
            kvp.Value.Company,
            kvp.Value.Weight);
    }
}

Remarks

The ToDictionary<TSource,TKey>(IEnumerable, Func<TSource,TKey>) method uses the default equality comparer Default to compare keys.
