Usage of Dictionary along with KeyPairValue

HI,

I have a dictionary declared as follows:

public:    
     static Dictionary<String ^, List<String ^>^> ^ language_string_table;

so by using for each loop key and values are loaded into that (which is written by someone else). Now i need by using the same for each loop i am able to access "key" of the Dictionary alone, please help me out how to access "value" of the Dictionary.

Thanks & Regards,

As it's not usually obvious how to translate C# code to C++/CLI, try this:

#include "stdafx.h"

using namespace System;

using namespace System::Collections::Generic;

ref class MyClass

{

   public:     

     static Dictionary<String ^, List<String ^>^> ^ language_string_table;

     static void MyMethod()

     {

        language_string_table = gcnew Dictionary<String ^, List<String ^>^>();

        List<String ^>^ list1 = gcnew List<String ^>();

        list1->Add("oui");

        list1->Add("non");

        language_string_table->Add("French", list1);

        List<String ^>^ list2 = gcnew List<String ^>();

        list2->Add("yes");

        list2->Add("no");

        language_string_table->Add("English", list2);

        for each(String ^ key in language_string_table->Keys)

        {

           List<String ^>^ values = language_string_table[key];

           for each(String ^ value in values)

           {

              Console::Write("{0} ", value);

           }

           Console::WriteLine();

        }

     }

};

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)

{

    MyClass::MyMethod();

    Console::ReadKey();

    return 0;

} 

Hi,

No this doesn't give the exact values of the key. This might work for the Dictionary which contains two Strings but my Dictionary contains one string and one list so if i use kvp.Value[0] and[1] it is giving the values of the 1st key by default based on the index provided.

If you can tell me a way where i can get whole list of a key. That is also fine. I can fetch data from that.

I didn't really follow that but, if you want to do it using KeyValuePairs rather than the Keys collection, then use:

for each(KeyValuePair<String ^, List<String ^>^> kvp in language_string_table)
{
    List<String ^> ^ values = kvp.Value;
    for each(String ^ value in values)
    {
        Console::Write("{0} ", value);
    }
    Console::WriteLine();
}
