The Dictionary.Remove() property in C# is used to remove the value with the specified key from the Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
public bool Remove (TKey key);
Above, the key is the key to remove.
Example
Let us now see an example to implement the Dictionary.Remove() property −
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Demo {
public static void Main(){
Dictionary<string, string> dict =
new Dictionary<string, string>();
dict.Add("One", "Kagido");
dict.Add("Two", "Ngidi");
dict.Add("Three", "Devillers");
dict.Add("Four", "Smith");
dict.Add("Five", "Warner");
Console.WriteLine("Count of elements = "+dict.Count);
Console.WriteLine("Removing some keys...");
dict.Remove("Four");
dict.Remove("Five");
Console.WriteLine("Count of elements (updated) = "+dict.Count);
Console.WriteLine("\nKey/value pairs...");
foreach(KeyValuePair<string, string> res in dict){
Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}, Value = {1}", res.Key, res.Value);
}
Console.Write("\nAll the keys..\n");
Dictionary<string, string>.KeyCollection allKeys = dict.Keys;
foreach(string str in allKeys){
Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}", str);
}
}
}Output
This will produce the following output −
Count of elements = 5 Removing some keys... Count of elements (updated) = 3 Key/value pairs... Key = One, Value = Kagido Key = Two, Value = Ngidi Key = Three, Value = Devillers All the keys.. Key = One Key = Two Key = Three
Example
Let us now see another example to implement the Dictionary.Remove() method −
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Demo {
public static void Main(){
Dictionary<string, string> dict =
new Dictionary<string, string>();
dict.Add("One", "Kagido");
dict.Add("Two", "Ngidi");
dict.Add("Three", "Devillers");
dict.Add("Four", "Smith");
dict.Add("Five", "Warner");
Console.WriteLine("Count of elements = "+dict.Count);
Console.Write("\nAll the keys..\n");
Dictionary<string, string>.KeyCollection allKeys = dict.Keys;
foreach(string str in allKeys){
Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}", str);
}
Console.WriteLine("Removing some keys...");
dict.Remove("Four");
dict.Remove("Five");
Console.WriteLine("Count of elements (updated) = "+dict.Count);
Console.Write("\nAll the keys..updated\n");
foreach(string str in allKeys){
Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}", str);
}
Console.WriteLine("\nKey/value pairs...");
foreach(KeyValuePair<string, string> res in dict){
Console.WriteLine("Key = {0}, Value = {1}", res.Key, res.Value);
}
}
}Output
This will produce the following output −
Count of elements = 5 All the keys.. Key = One Key = Two Key = Three Key = Four Key = Five Removing some keys... Count of elements (updated) = 3 All the keys..updated Key = One Key = Two Key = Three Key/value pairs... Key = One, Value = Kagido Key = Two, Value = Ngidi Key = Three, Value = Devillers
