Linq Dictionary question

[Eps]

Hi there,

Say I have a dictionary of the type...

Dictionary<Colo r, int>

how would I get the 5 key value pairs with the greatest value (the value
being the integer).

It should be simple but I have been struggling to do it in Linq, any
examples would be much appreciated.

Regards.

Dictionary<Colo r, intdict;
...
IEnumerable<Key ValuePair<Color , Int>result =
dict.OrderByDes cending(pair =pair.Value).Ta ke(5);

ok I new it would be simple :)

what happens if there are less then five kvp's in the dictionary, is
there an exception thrown ?, I guess I should check the number of items
anyway right ?.

thanks.
