IDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).Keys Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets an ICollection<(Of <(T>)>) containing the keys of the IDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
Namespace: System.Collections.Generic
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
ReadOnly Property Keys As ICollection(Of TKey)
ICollection<TKey> Keys { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::.ICollection<(Of <(TKey>)>)
An ICollection<(Of <(T>)>) containing the keys of the object that implements IDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
Remarks
The order of the keys in the returned ICollection<(Of <(T>)>) is unspecified, but it is guaranteed to be the same order as the corresponding values in the ICollection<(Of <(T>)>) returned by the Values property.
Examples
The following code example shows how to enumerate keys alone using the Keys property.
This code is part of a larger example that can be compiled and executed. See System.Collections.Generic..::.IDictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>).
' To get the keys alone, use the Keys property.
icoll = openWith.Keys
' The elements of the ValueCollection are strongly typed
' with the type that was specified for dictionary values.
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
For Each s As String In icoll
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Key = {0}", s) & vbCrLf
Next s
// To get the keys alone, use the Keys property.
icoll = openWith.Keys;
// The elements of the ValueCollection are strongly typed
// with the type that was specified for dictionary values.
outputBlock.Text += "\n";
foreach (string s in icoll)
{
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Key = {0}", s) + "\n";
}
