What is the best way to iterate over a dictionary?

Question

I\'ve seen a few different ways to iterate over a dictionary in C#. Is there a standard way?

Answer 1

Sometimes if you only needs the values to be enumerated, use the dictionary's value collection:

foreach(var value in dictionary.Values)
{
    // do something with entry.Value only
}

Reported by this post which states it is the fastest method: http://alexpinsker.blogspot.hk/2010/02/c-fastest-way-to-iterate-over.html
