Convert HashTable to Dictionary in C#

Question

How do I convert a HashTable to Dictionary in C#? Is it possible?

For example, if I have a collection of objects in a HashTable and I want to convert it to a dictionary of objects with a specific type, how can I do that?

Answer 1

public static Dictionary<K,V> HashtableToDictionary<K,V> (Hashtable table)
{
   return table
     .Cast<DictionaryEntry> ()
     .ToDictionary (kvp => (K)kvp.Key, kvp => (V)kvp.Value);
}
