KeyValuePair<st ring,stringhas a ToString method that returns the
KeyValue pair seperated by a comma and enclosed in [ ]:
[ name, Jane ]
Is this method used as a building block for serialization?
The reason I ask is because I dont see a "FromString " or "Parse"
static method that takes a string as an argument and returns a
KeyValuePair<st ring,stringobje ct.
also, the ToString resulting value does not look like it could be
parsed under all circumstances. If the value in the KeyValuePair
contains a comma the ToString method returns the value as is, without
enclosing it in quotes:
KeyValuePair<st ring,stringdemo
= new KeyValuePair<st ring,string>( "First, Names", "Billy,
Jane" ) ;
MessageBox.Show (demo.ToString( ));
resulting string: [First, Names, Billy, Jane]

No, its not. Its simply there to get a string version of the
instance. All .Net objects have a ToString method; most simply use
the default implementation to return the type name, but key value
pair, overrides to call ToString on both the key object and value
object (which in your case are both strings).
Serialization would be done by decorating a class with the
SerializationAt tribute.
Steve,
The ToString method is not meant to be used for Serialization. The
ToString method is located on the Object class, and is not intended to be
used for serialization. Rather, its intention is to return a human-readable
string that is culture-sensitive (from the documentation).
This is why you do not see a FromString method.
Generally, I would use the TypeConverter class (rather, a class derived
from that) to perform the conversion. However, it would be up to the
KeyValuePair<TK ey, TValueinstance to indicate what the TypeConverter
should be, which it does not.
Is there something specific you are trying to do? The structure is
serializable (assuming that TKey and TValue are serializable) but that would
allow you to serialize the instance to a binary stream, or a xml message.
You can also try XML serialization as well.
Hope this helps.

I want to create an array of key value pairs. This code compiles fine:
KeyValuePair<string, object> kvps = {
new KeyValuePair<string,object>( "int", 5 ),
new KeyValuePair<string,object>( "string", "robot")
};
But is their no shorthand to this such as
KeyValuePair<string,object> kvps = {{"int",5 },{"string","a string"}};

The docs for List say "The List class is the generic equivalent of the
ArrayList class." Since List<is strongly typed, and ArrayList has
no type (is that called weakly typed?), I would assume List<is far
better. So, why do people use ArrayList so often? Am I missing
somehing? What's the difference between them?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
