Merging dictionaries in C#

Question

What\'s the best way to merge 2 or more dictionaries (Dictionary) in C#? (3.0 features like LINQ are fine).

I\'m thinking of a method signa

Answer 1

@Tim: Should be a comment, but comments don't allow for code editing.

Dictionary t1 = new Dictionary();
t1.Add("a", "aaa");
Dictionary t2 = new Dictionary();
t2.Add("b", "bee");
Dictionary t3 = new Dictionary();
t3.Add("c", "cee");
t3.Add("d", "dee");
t3.Add("b", "bee");
Dictionary merged = t1.MergeLeft(t2, t2, t3);

Note: I applied the modification by @ANeves to the solution by @Andrew Orsich, so the MergeLeft looks like this now:

public static Dictionary MergeLeft(this Dictionary me, params IDictionary[] others)
    {
        var newMap = new Dictionary(me, me.Comparer);
        foreach (IDictionary src in
            (new List> { me }).Concat(others))
        {
            // ^-- echk. Not quite there type-system.
            foreach (KeyValuePair p in src)
            {
                newMap[p.Key] = p.Value;
            }
        }
        return newMap;
    }
