I'm just starting out so forgive me if I don't use the correct terminology. I'm trying to consolidate an ObservableCollection> by looping through and comparing one key to all the other keys in the collection. If they are the same it should then compare the matching keys values. I don't have enough rep to post a pic.
private void CombineUDAs(ObservableCollection<Tuple<object, object>> UDAs)
{
foreach (var item in UDAs)
{
}
}Got it working the way I wanted with the help of a coworker here's the resulting code. Enumerator is the selected objects. I still need to go back to tighten the code up but the functionality is there.
_udaTuple = new ObservableCollection<Tuple<object, object>>();
var tempDictionary = new Dictionary<object, object>();
foreach (var item in Enumerator)
{
var modelObject = item as TSM.ModelObject;
if (modelObject != null)
{
var tempHash = new Hashtable();
modelObject.GetAllUserProperties(ref tempHash);
foreach (DictionaryEntry dictionaryEntry in tempHash)
{
if (tempDictionary.ContainsKey(dictionaryEntry.Key))
{
if (tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] is string && dictionaryEntry.Value is string)
{
if ((string)tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key]!=(string)dictionaryEntry.Value)
{
tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] = "Values Do Not Match";
}
}
else if (tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] is double && dictionaryEntry.Value is double)
{
if ((double)tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] != (double)dictionaryEntry.Value)
{
tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] = "Values Do Not Match";
}
}
else if (tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] is int && dictionaryEntry.Value is int)
{
if ((int)tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] != (int)dictionaryEntry.Value)
{
tempDictionary[dictionaryEntry.Key] = "Values Do Not Match";
}
}
}
else
{
tempDictionary.Add(dictionaryEntry.Key, dictionaryEntry.Value);
}
}
}
}
foreach (var item in tempDictionary)
{
_udaTuple.Add(new Tuple<object, object>(item.Key, item.Value));
}
