LINQ query to return a Dictionary<string, string>
Solution 1:
Use the ToDictionary method directly.
var result =
// as Jon Skeet pointed out, OrderBy is useless here, I just leave it
// show how to use OrderBy in a LINQ query
myClassCollection.OrderBy(mc => mc.SomePropToSortOn)
.ToDictionary(mc => mc.KeyProp.ToString(),
mc => mc.ValueProp.ToString(),
StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
Solution 2:
Look at the ToLookup and/or ToDictionary extension methods.
