C# dictionary to array

Question

I have this:

void SaveMultiple(Dictionary<string, decimal> updates)
{
ColumnSet cs = new ColumnSet();
cs.Attributes = new string[] { "att1", "att2", "add3" };
}

My attributes array needs to be all the string values of the dictionary.

How can I do that?

Thanks

Just as a note, in a Dictionary<string, int>, the strings are called the key (left hand side), the ints are called the value (right hand side). Important distinction to make, as keys are forcibly unique, whereas values are not. — Flater

You mean the keys of this dictionary? Then updates.Keys.ToArray() will give them to you.

cs.Attributes = updates.Values.ToArray();

if you want the Values or

cs.Attributes = updates.Keys.ToArray();

if you want the Keys (most likely as shown in your code snippet)

At least convert them to string before arrayzing them :-)
