Re: Duplicate Key Alternative for Generic Dictionary

To me it sounds like you're trying to avoid creating a Department
object even though that is exactly what you need. This code would be
much easier to read and understand and manage and debug and on and on
and on..

var d1 = new Department();
var d2 = new Department();
var d3 = new Department();

var departments = new Dictionary<Guid, Department>();

departments.Add(d1.Guid, d1);
departments.Add(d2.Guid, d2);
departments.Add(d3.Guid, d3);

d1.Users.Add(new User());
d1.Users.Add(new User());
d1.Users.Add(new User());

d2.Users.Add(new User());
d2.Users.Add(new User());
d2.Users.Add(new User());

d3.Users.Add(new User());
d3.Users.Add(new User());
d3.Users.Add(new User());

3 departments in a dictionary, each with 3 users (employees). Not
fully working code (need class definitions), but hopefully this is
enough to explain.

I guess pretend I have 3 departments, and 3 employees in each one.

That is the reason. I'm either going to have to wrap my own custom object
collection, or try and piggy back.


Guid dept1 = new Guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001");
Guid dept2 = new Guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002");
Guid dept3 = new Guid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003");

test.Add(dept1 , Guid.NewGuid());

test.Add(dept1 , Guid.NewGuid());
test.Add(dept1 , Guid.NewGuid());

test.Add(dept2 , Guid.NewGuid());
test.Add(dept2 , Guid.NewGuid());
test.Add(dept2 , Guid.NewGuid());

test.Add(dept3 , Guid.NewGuid());
test.Add(dept3 , Guid.NewGuid());
test.Add(dept3 , Guid.NewGuid());
