C# List of Dictionary

I want to map some C++ to C# via CLI/C++. In C++ I have a vector<map<string,string>> which I thought I could represent in .Net as List<Dictionary<String,String>. However, this gives me errors. 

List<Dictionary<String,String>> // is not a valid generic argument

Is there a standard alternative?

Note I'm implementing this in CLI/C++.

Solution

  • It turns out that I need to pass handles to generic containers:

    List<Dictionary<String^, String^>^>^ list_of_dict_of_string;

    Thanks, all.
