How to quickly parse the following data into a data structure

I have data like

A=B&C=D&E=F

How to quickly parse it into a data structure like a dic开发者_JAVA技巧tionary? Any built-in support from .net framework?

    var input = "A=B&C=D&E=F";
    var output = input
                    .Split(new string[] {"&"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
                    .Select(s => s.Split('=', 2))
                    .ToDictionary(d => d[0], d => d[1]);

Use the HttpUtility.ParseQueryString()-Method:

It will return a NameValueCollection, which is very similary to a dictionary.

Yep, LINQ is your friend here.

string myString = "A=B&C=D&E=F";

var dictionary = myString.Split('&')
  .Select(pair => pair.Split('='))
  .ToDictionary (array => array[0], array => array[1]);
