Remove the entry with specified key from ListDictionary in C#


To remove the entry with specified key from ListDictionary, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(){
      ListDictionary dict1 = new ListDictionary();
      dict1.Add("A", "Books");
      dict1.Add("B", "Electronics");
      dict1.Add("C", "Smart Wearables");
      dict1.Add("D", "Pet Supplies");
      dict1.Add("E", "Clothing");
      dict1.Add("F", "Footwear");
      Console.WriteLine("ListDictionary1 elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict1) {
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      ListDictionary dict2 = new ListDictionary();
      dict2.Add("1", "One");
      dict2.Add("2", "Two");
      dict2.Add("3", "Three");
      dict2.Add("4", "Four");
      dict2.Add("5", "Five");
      dict2.Add("6", "Six");
      Console.WriteLine("
ListDictionary2 elements...");       foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict2) {          Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);       }       Console.WriteLine("Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary 2 = "+dict2.Count);       dict2.Remove("4");       Console.WriteLine("Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary 2 (Updated) = "+dict2.Count);    } }

Output

This will produce the following output −

ListDictionary1 elements...
A Books
B Electronics
C Smart Wearables
D Pet Supplies
E Clothing
F Footwear
ListDictionary2 elements...
1 One
2 Two
3 Three
4 Four
5 Five
6 Six
Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary 2 = 6
Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary 2 (Updated) = 5

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      ListDictionary dict = new ListDictionary();
      dict.Add("1", "One");
      dict.Add("2", "Two");
      dict.Add("3", "Three");
      dict.Add("4", "Four");
      dict.Add("5", "Five");
      dict.Add("6", "Six");
      Console.WriteLine("ListDictionary elements...");
      foreach(DictionaryEntry d in dict) {
         Console.WriteLine(d.Key + " " + d.Value);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary = "+dict.Count);
      dict.Remove("2");
      dict.Remove("3");
      dict.Remove("4");
      Console.WriteLine("Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary (Updated) = "+dict.Count);
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

ListDictionary elements...
1 One
2 Two
3 Three
4 Four
5 Five
6 Six
Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary = 6
Count of key/value pairs in Dictionary (Updated) = 3
