Using Lambda with Dictionaries

Question

I am trying to use LINQ to retrieve some data from a dictionary.

    var testDict = new Dictionary<int, string>();
    testDict.Add(1, "Apple");
    testDict.Add(2, "Cherry");

    var q1 = from obj in testDict.Values.Where(p => p == "Apple");
    var q2 = from obj in testDict.Where(p => p.Value == "Apple");

The above lines, q1 and q2, both result in a compiler error.

error CS0742: A query body must end with a select clause or a group clause

How do I go about using LINQ to find values in a dictionary?

Thank you,

Rick

Answer 1

Either

var q1 = from obj in testDict.Values where obj == "Apple" select obj;

or

var q1 = testDict.Where(p => p.Value == "Apple");
