Task Parallel System.Threading

Creates a Dictionary{TKey,TValue} from a ParallelQuery{T} according to a specified key selector function and key comparer.

Namespace:  System.Linq
Assembly:  System.Threading (in System.Threading.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function ToDictionary(Of TSource, TKey) ( _
	source As ParallelQuery(Of TSource), _
	keySelector As Func(Of TSource, TKey), _
	comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TKey) _
) As Dictionary(Of TKey, TSource)
C#
public static Dictionary<TKey, TSource> ToDictionary<TSource, TKey>(
	ParallelQuery<TSource> source,
	Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector,
	IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparer
)

Parameters

source
Type: System.Linq..::.ParallelQuery<(Of <(TSource>)>)
A sequence to create a Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) from.
keySelector
Type: System..::.Func<(Of <(TSource, TKey>)>)
A function to extract a key from each element.
comparer
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::.IEqualityComparer<(Of <(TKey>)>)
An IEqualityComparer<(Of <(T>)>) to compare keys.

Type Parameters

TSource
The type of the elements of source.
TKey
The type of the key returned by keySelector.

Return Value

A Dictionary<(Of <(TKey, TValue>)>) that contains keys and values.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
System..::.ArgumentNullException source or keySelector is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
System..::.AggregateException keySelector produces a key that is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). -or- keySelector produces duplicate keys for two elements. -or- One or more exceptions occurred during the evaluation of the query.
