How do I get the list of keys in a Dictionary?

You should be able to just look at .Keys:

    Dictionary<string, int> data = new Dictionary<string, int>();
    data.Add("abc", 123);
    data.Add("def", 456);
    foreach (string key in data.Keys)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(key);
    }

List<string> keyList = new List<string>(this.yourDictionary.Keys);

Marc Gravell's answer should work for you. myDictionary.Keys returns an object that implements ICollection<TKey>, IEnumerable<TKey> and their non-generic counterparts.

I just wanted to add that if you plan on accessing the value as well, you could loop through the dictionary like this (modified example):

Dictionary<string, int> data = new Dictionary<string, int>();
data.Add("abc", 123);
data.Add("def", 456);

foreach (KeyValuePair<string, int> item in data)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item.Key + ": " + item.Value);
}

Update for .NET 3.5+

To get list of all keys:

using System.Linq;

List<String> myKeys = myDict.Keys.ToList();

If you face any issues using System.Linq, see the following:

• Visual Studio Does not recognize System.Linq
• System.Linq Namespace
