Key value pairs in C# Params

Question

I\'m looking for a way to have a function such as:

myFunction({\"Key\", value}, {\"Key2\", value});

I\'m sure there\'s something with anonymous

Answer 1

Using a dictionary:

myFunction(new Dictionary(){
  {"Key", value}, 
  {"Key2", value}});

Which is straight forward, you need only one new Dictionary, not for each argument. It's trivial to get the keys and values.

Or with an anonymous type:

myFunction(new {
  Key = value, 
  Key2 = value});

Which is not very nice to use inside the function, you'll need reflection. This would look something like this:

foreach (PropertyInfo property in arg.GetType().GetProperties())
{
  key = property.Name;
  value = property.GetValue(arg, null);
}

(Staight from my head, probably some errors...)
