How to create a shallow copy of SortedList Object in C#?

To create a shallow copy of SortedList object, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args){
      SortedList list = new SortedList();
      list.Add("A", "Jacob");
      list.Add("B", "Sam");
      list.Add("C", "Tom");
      list.Add("D", "John");
      list.Add("E", "Tim");
      list.Add("F", "Mark");
      list.Add("G", "Gary");
      list.Add("H", "Nathan");
      list.Add("I", "Shaun");
      list.Add("J", "David");
      Console.WriteLine("SortedList elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in list){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      ICollection col1 = list.Values;
      Console.WriteLine("
Values...");
      foreach(string s in col1)
         Console.WriteLine(s);
      ICollection col2 = list.Keys;
      Console.WriteLine("
Keys...");
      foreach(string s in col2)
         Console.WriteLine(s);
      SortedList list2 = (SortedList)list.Clone();
      Console.WriteLine("
Resultant SortedList...cloned from above list");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in list){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

SortedList elements...
A Jacob
B Sam
C Tom
D John
E Tim
F Mark
G Gary
H Nathan
I Shaun
J David

Values...
Jacob
Sam
Tom
John
Tim
Mark
Gary
Nathan
Shaun
David

Keys...
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J

Resultant SortedList...cloned from above list
A Jacob
B Sam
C Tom
D John
E Tim
F Mark
G Gary
H Nathan
I Shaun
J David

Example

Let us now see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args){
      SortedList list = new SortedList();
      list.Add("One", "IT");
      list.Add("Two ", "Operations");
      list.Add("Three", "Marketing");
      list.Add("Four", "Purchase");
      list.Add("Five", "Sales");
      list.Add("Six", "Finance");
      Console.WriteLine("SortedList elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in list){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("
List of values...SortedList");
      IList col = list.GetValueList();
      foreach(string res in col) {
         Console.WriteLine(res);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("
SortedList is read-only? = "+list.IsReadOnly);
      SortedList list2 = (SortedList)list.Clone();
      Console.WriteLine("
Resultant SortedList...cloned from above list");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in list){
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

SortedList elements...
Five Sales
Four Purchase
One IT
Six Finance
Three Marketing
Two Operations

List of values...SortedList
Sales
Purchase
IT
Finance
Marketing
Operations

SortedList is read-only? = False Resultant SortedList...cloned from above list
Five Sales
Four Purchase
One IT
Six Finance
Three Marketing
Two Operations
