Method: IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<object, TElement>> GetDictionary(TElement)

• Declared in: RT.Serialization.IClassifyFormat<TElement>
• Interface method

Declaration

public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<object, TElement>> GetDictionary(
    TElement element
)

Summary

Decodes a dictionary.

Parameters

TElement

element

The element to decode.

Returns

A collection containing the key/value pairs in the dictionary. The keys in the returned collection are expected to be convertible to the correct type using ExactConvert.

Remarks

This should decode values passed into IClassifyFormat<TElement>.FormatDictionary(IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<object, TElement>>), although it is acceptable if the type of the keys has changed. For example, all keys may be returned as string, as long as ExactConvert will convert that string back to the original value.
