Convert IReliableDictionary to IList

Question

I have an IReliableDictionary and need to take the items in the dictionary and move them in to an IList to return from my reliable service.

It seems I can\'t do a .T

Answer 1

IReliableDictionary (just like an IDictionary) is IEnumerable of key value pairs, so you can go this way:

public async Task<IList<CustomerOrderItem>> GetOrdersAsync()
    {
        IReliableDictionary<CustomerOrderItemId, CustomerOrderItem> orderItems =
        await this.StateManager.GetOrAddAsync<IReliableDictionary<CustomerOrderItemId, CustomerOrderItem>>(CustomerOrderItemDictionaryName);

        var list = orderItems.Select(kvp => kvp.Value).ToList();
        return list;
    }

Answer 2

IReliableDictionary<K,V> implements IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<K, V>>, so you can do a ToList.

Maybe ensure the namespace is imported.
