Array to Dictionary<string, string>

[jandeerit]

hi...

can anyone help to show me how to store the array in a dictionary object as shown below?

FROM: Array
[0]: "PARAMETERS"
[1]: "ParamName-1"
[2]: "ParamValue-1"
[3]: "ParamName-2"
[4]: "ParamValue-2"
[5]: "ParamName-3"
[6]: "ParamValue-3"
[7]: "ParamName-4"
[8]: "ParamValue-4"
[9]: "ParamName-n"
[10]: "ParamValue-n"
[11]: "PROCEDURES"
[12]: "ProcName-1"
[13]: "ProcValue-1"
[14]: "ProcName-2"
[15]: "ProcValue-2"
[16]: "ProcName-3"
[17]: "ProcValue-3"
[18]: "ProcName-n"
[19]: "ProcValue-n"

TO: Dictionary<string, string>
Count = 9
[0]: {[ParamName-1, ParamValue-1]}
[1]: {[ParamName-2, ParamValue-2]}
[2]: {[ParamName-3, ParamValue-3]}
[3]: {[ParamName-4, ParamValue-4]}
[4]: {[ParamName-n, ParamValue-n]}
[5]: {[ProcName-1, ProcValue-1]}
[6]: {[ProcName-2, ProcValue-2]}
[7]: {[ProcName-3, ProcValue-3]}
[8]: {[ProcName-n, ProcValue-n]}

thanks a lot..

Cant you do a loop like this:

for(int i = 0; i<array.Length; i+=2)
  dict.Add(array[i], array[i-1]);

That should work.

thanks!!

i made a little tweak though :)

for (int i = 1; i<array.Length; i+=2)
{
   if (array[i].ToString() == "PROCEDURES")
   {
      i = i - 1;
   }
   else
   {
      dict.Add(array[i].ToString(), array[i + 1].ToString());
   }
}
