How do I write this lambda select method in VB.net?
46,550
This would be:
Dim blah = exampleItems.Select (Function(x) New With { .Key = x.Key, .Value = x.Value }).ToList
For details, see Anonymous Types. (Depending on usage, you might also want Key or Value to be flagged with the Key keyword.)
That being said, Dictionary(Of TKey, Of TValue)
already is an IEnumerable(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, Of TValue)
, so you can also just do:
Dim blah = exampleItems.ToList
And you'll have a list of KeyValuePair, which has a Key
and Value
property already. This really means there's no need to make the anonymous type.

For I've tried this:
Dim exampleItems As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) Dim blah = exampleItems.Select (Function(x) New (x.Key, x.Value)).ToList 'error here
But I'm getting a syntax error and all the examples that I've seen are in C#.
