OrderedDictionary.AsReadOnly method returns a read-only copy of the current OrderedDictionary collection.

Syntax:

public System.Collections.Specialized.OrderedDictionary AsReadOnly ();

Return Value: A read-only copy of the current OrderedDictionary collection.

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

Example 1:




// C# code to get a read-only
// copy of 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");
  
        // To Get a read-only copy of
        // the OrderedDictionary
        OrderedDictionary myDict_1 = myDict.AsReadOnly();
  
        // Checking if myDict_1 is read-only
        Console.WriteLine(myDict_1.IsReadOnly);
    }
}


Output:

True

Example 2:




// C# code to get a read-only
// copy of 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");
  
        // To Get a read-only copy of
        // the OrderedDictionary
        OrderedDictionary myDict_1 = myDict.AsReadOnly();
  
        // Checking if myDict_1 is read-only
        Console.WriteLine(myDict_1.IsReadOnly);
    }
}


Output:

True

Note: The AsReadOnly method creates a read-only wrapper around the current OrderedDictionary collection. Changes made to the OrderedDictionary collection are reflected in the read-only copy.
