很容易从数据库中获取密钥的值.NET通用词典:
Dictionary<int, string> greek = new Dictionary<int, string>();
greek.Add(1, "Alpha");
greek.Add(2, "Beta");
string secondGreek = greek[2]; // Beta
但是，try 获取给定值的密钥并不那么简单，因为可能有多个密钥:
int[] betaKeys = greek.WhatDoIPutHere("Beta"); // expecting single 2
好的，这是多重双向版本:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
class BiDictionary<TFirst, TSecond>
{
IDictionary<TFirst, IList<TSecond>> firstToSecond = new Dictionary<TFirst, IList<TSecond>>();
IDictionary<TSecond, IList<TFirst>> secondToFirst = new Dictionary<TSecond, IList<TFirst>>();
private static IList<TFirst> EmptyFirstList = new TFirst[0];
private static IList<TSecond> EmptySecondList = new TSecond[0];
public void Add(TFirst first, TSecond second)
{
IList<TFirst> firsts;
IList<TSecond> seconds;
if (!firstToSecond.TryGetValue(first, out seconds))
{
seconds = new List<TSecond>();
firstToSecond[first] = seconds;
}
if (!secondToFirst.TryGetValue(second, out firsts))
{
firsts = new List<TFirst>();
secondToFirst[second] = firsts;
}
seconds.Add(second);
firsts.Add(first);
}
// Note potential ambiguity using indexers (e.g. mapping from int to int)
// Hence the methods as well...
public IList<TSecond> this[TFirst first]
{
get { return GetByFirst(first); }
}
public IList<TFirst> this[TSecond second]
{
get { return GetBySecond(second); }
}
public IList<TSecond> GetByFirst(TFirst first)
{
IList<TSecond> list;
if (!firstToSecond.TryGetValue(first, out list))
{
return EmptySecondList;
}
return new List<TSecond>(list); // Create a copy for sanity
}
public IList<TFirst> GetBySecond(TSecond second)
{
IList<TFirst> list;
if (!secondToFirst.TryGetValue(second, out list))
{
return EmptyFirstList;
}
return new List<TFirst>(list); // Create a copy for sanity
}
}
