what is the different between IDictionary.GetEnumerator and IEnumerable.GetEnumerator

[Lyu KingT]

i am glad to read this post:
Why two GetEnumerator methods implementing IDictionary?

and what i learned from the post is the different between Implicit and Explicit Interface Implementations .
however, i do still not understand the difference between
IDictionary.Get Enumerator() : System.Collecti ons.IDictionary Enumerator
and
IEnumerable.Get Enumerator() : System.Collecti ons.IEnumerator

and i wish to know when implementing IDictionary, which one of GetEnumerator() i should explicit implementing, IDictionary.Get Enumerator() or IEnumerable.Get Enumerator().

regards.

Try the following

      IDictionary dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();

      dict.Add("Test1", "Value1");
      dict.Add("Test2", "Value2");

      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("ForEach with IDictionary");

      foreach (object v1 in (IDictionary)dict) {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(v1.GetType().Name);
      }

      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("ForEach with IEnumerable");

      foreach (object v2 in (IEnumerable)dict) {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(v2.GetType().Name);
      }

You'll see, that the first one, returns a DictionaryEntry
and the second one returns a KeyValuePair<st ring, string>
