Trying to use ToDictionary<>...

[Wes Jones]

Hi All, new to LINQ, could use a pointer on fixing what I'm doing wrong please.. I have a Dictionary of int to List<MyType>, such as:

 Dictionary<int, List<MyType>> myTypeDictionary

I am trying to copy this dictionary to another dictionary that will contain all elements except oneDictionary<int, List<MyType>> myNewTypeDictionary = (from pair in myTypeDictionary where pair.Key != someValue select pair).ToDictionary<int, List<MyType>>( p=> p.Key, p=> p.Value);

According to examples of doing this, my lamda looks like other samples of using ToDictionary I've seen, & I've tried a few variations, but I'm getting a number of compile time errors. What would the correct LINQ query look like? There's other ways to accomplish what I'd like done, but now that my lambda won't work, I'm curious to see the proper code.

Insteand of .ToDictionary<int,>>(p=> p.Key, p=> p.Value) Write .ToDictionary(p=> p.Key, p=> p.Value) I think it will work

Thanks, that does the trick! I'll make a note of the difference for future reference.
