Get last element in a SortedDictionary

Question

I see this question.

How can I get the last element in a SortedDictionary in .Net 3.5.

Answer 1

You can use LINQ:

var lastItem = sortedDict.Values.Last();

You can also get the last key:

var lastkey = sortedDict.Keys.Last();

You can even get the last key-value pair:

var lastKeyValuePair = sortedDict.Last();

This will give you a KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> with Key and Value properties.

Note that this will throw an exception if the dictionary is empty; if you don't want that, call LastOrDefault.
