How to get dictionary values as a generic list

Question

I just want get a list from Dictionary values but it's not so simple as it appears !

here the code :

Dictionary<string, List<MyType>> myDico = GetDictionary(); List<MyType> items = ??? 

I try :

List<MyType> items = new List<MyType>(myDico.values) 

But it does not work :-(

Answer 1

How about:

var values = myDico.Values.ToList(); 

Answer 2

Off course, myDico.Values is List<List<MyType>>.

Use Linq if you want to flattern your lists

var items = myDico.SelectMany (d => d.Value).ToList();
