Generic Dictionary consisting of string & linkedlist string

Question

Hey So I have a generic dictionary (key = name value = linkedlist). public Dictionary > myDictionary = new Dictionary >(); I know how to insert values into the linkedlist (the value part of the dictionary) however I do not know how to retrieve/display them. I have managed to retrieve the first and last entries within the linkedlist through this: entry.Value.First.Value entry.Value.Last.Value ^the above code is placed within a foreach loop of the dictionary . I want to input an unspecific amount of entries into the linkedlist and be able to put them all into 1 string or display them. How can I do this? Is it possible? I have been stuck for far too long now please help :)

I've adjusted Jignesh's code to use a LinkedList rather than a List . I've also shown how you can combine the elements of a LinkedList into a string (.NET 4.0 or later assumed): using System; using System.Collections.Generic; class Test { static void Main() { var dic = new Dictionary >(); string[] sa = { a b c d }; string[] sa1 = { a1 b1 c1 d1 }; dic.Add(test new LinkedList (sa)); dic.Add(test1 new LinkedList (sa1)); var rd = dic[test]; foreach (var r in rd) { Console.Write({0}  r); } Console.WriteLine(); // now display elements of second linked list as a string var rd1 = dic[test1]; var str = String.Join(  rd1); Console.WriteLine(str); Console.ReadKey(); } } The output is: a b c d a1 b1 c1 d1

Hi Try followinf code it might help you. Dictionary > dic = new Dictionary >(); dic.Add(test new List { a b c d }); dic.Add(test1 new List { a1 b1 c1 d1 }); var rd = dic[test]; foreach (var r in rd) { Console.WriteLine(r); }
