C# | Get an ICollection containing values in OrderedDictionary

OrderedDictionary.Values property is used to get an ICollection object containing the values in the OrderedDictionary collection.

Syntax:

public System.Collections.ICollection Values { get; }

Return Value: It returns an ICollection object containing the values in the OrderedDictionary collection.

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

Example 1:

// C# code to get an ICollection
// containing the values in 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");

        // Getting an ICollection containing
        // the values in OrderedDictionary
        ICollection valueCollection = myDict.Values;

        // Creating a String array
        String[] myValues = new String[myDict.Count];

        // Copying the OrderedDictionary elements to
        // a one-dimensional Array object at the
        // specified index.
        valueCollection.CopyTo(myValues, 0);

        for (int i = 0; i < myDict.Count; i++) {
            Console.WriteLine(myValues[i]);
        }
    }
}

Output:

value1
value2
value3
value4
value5

Example 2:

// C# code to get an ICollection
// containing the values in 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");

        // Getting an ICollection containing
        // the values in OrderedDictionary
        ICollection valueCollection = myDict.Values;

        // Creating a String array
        String[] myValues = new String[myDict.Count];

        // Copying the OrderedDictionary elements to
        // a one-dimensional Array object at the
        // specified index.
        valueCollection.CopyTo(myValues, 0);

        for (int i = 0; i < myDict.Count; i++) {
            Console.WriteLine(myValues[i]);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Apple
Banana
Cat
Dog
