Convert List of KeyValuePair into IDictionary "C#"

Question

My seenario,

      how to convert List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> into  IDictionary<string, string>

Answer 1

Very, very simply with LINQ:

IDictionary<string, string> dictionary =
    list.ToDictionary(pair => pair.Key, pair => pair.Value);

Note that this will fail if there are any duplicate keys - I assume that's okay?

Answer 2

Use ToDictionary() extension method of the Enumerable class.
