Convert Dictionary<String,Int> to Dictionary<String,SomeEnum> using LINQ?
It works straight forward with a simple cast.
Dictionary<String, Int32> input = new Dictionary<String, Int32>();
// Transform input Dictionary to output Dictionary
Dictionary<String, SomeEnum> output =
input.ToDictionary(item => item.Key, item => (SomeEnum)item.Value);
I used this test and it does not fail.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace DictionaryEnumConverter
{
enum SomeEnum { x, y, z = 4 };
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Dictionary<String, Int32> input =
new Dictionary<String, Int32>();
input.Add("a", 0);
input.Add("b", 1);
input.Add("c", 4);
Dictionary<String, SomeEnum> output = input.ToDictionary(
pair => pair.Key, pair => (SomeEnum)pair.Value);
Debug.Assert(output["a"] == SomeEnum.x);
Debug.Assert(output["b"] == SomeEnum.y);
Debug.Assert(output["c"] == SomeEnum.z);
}
}
}
var result = dict.ToDictionary(kvp => kvp.Key,
kvp => (SomeEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(SomeEnum), kvp.Value));
