OrderedDictionary.RemoveAt(Int32) method is used to remove the entry at the specified index from the OrderedDictionary collection.

Syntax:

public void RemoveAt (int index);

Here, index is the zero-based index of the entry to remove.

Exceptions:

  • NotSupportedException : If the OrderedDictionary collection is read-only.
  • ArgumentOutOfRangeException : If the index is less than zero OR index is equal to or greater than Count.

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

Example 1:




// C# code to remove the entry at
// the specified index from the
// OrderedDictionary
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);
  
        // Removing the entry at the specified
        // index from the OrderedDictionary
        myDict.RemoveAt(3);
  
        // 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 : 4
key1 -- value1
key2 -- value2
key3 -- value3
key5 -- value5

Example 2:




// C# code to remove the entry at
// the specified index from the
// OrderedDictionary
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);
  
        // Removing the entry at the specified
        // index from the OrderedDictionary
        // This should raise "ArgumentOutOfRangeException"
        // as index is less than 0
        myDict.RemoveAt(-2);
  
        // 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);
    }
}


Runtime Error:

Unhandled Exception:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: index

Note: The entries that follow the removed entry move up to occupy the vacated spot and the indexes of the entries that move are also updated.
