C# | Getting the Values in a SortedList object

SortedList.Values Property is used to get the values in a SortedList object.

Syntax:

public virtual System.Collections.ICollection Values { get; }

Property Value: An ICollection object containing the values in the SortedList object.

Below programs illustrate the use of above-discussed property:

Example 1:




// C# code to get an ICollection containing
// the values in the SortedList
using System;
using System.Collections;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {
  
        // Creating a SortedList
        SortedList mylist = new SortedList();
  
        // Adding elements in SortedList
        mylist.Add("g", "Beginner");
        mylist.Add("c", "c++");
        mylist.Add("d", "data structures");
        mylist.Add("q", "quiz");
  
        // Get a collection of the values
        ICollection c = mylist.Values;
  
        // Displaying the contents
        foreach(string str in c)
            Console.WriteLine(str + mylist[str]);
    }
}


Output:

c++
data structures
Beginner
quiz

Example 2:




// C# code to get an ICollection containing
// the values in the SortedList
using System;
using System.Collections;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {
  
        // Creating a SortedList
        SortedList mylist = new SortedList();
  
        // Adding elements in SortedList
        mylist.Add("India", "Country");
        mylist.Add("Chandigarh", "City");
        mylist.Add("Mars", "Planet");
        mylist.Add("China", "Country");
  
        // Get a collection of the values
        ICollection c = mylist.Values;
  
        // Displaying the contents
        foreach(string str in c)
            Console.WriteLine(str + mylist[str]);
    }
}


Output:

City
Country
Country
Planet

Note:

  • The ICollection object is a read-only view of the values of the SortedList object. Modifications made to the underlying SortedList are immediately reflected in the ICollection.
  • The elements of the ICollection are sorted in the same order as the values of the SortedList.
  • This property is similar to the GetValueList method but returns an ICollection object instead of an IList object.
  • This method is an O(1) operation.
