How to get values after dictionary sorting by values with linq

I've a dictionary, which i sorted by value with linq, how can i get th开发者_Go百科ose sorted value from the sorted result i get

that's what i did so far

Dictionary<char, int> lettersAcurr = new Dictionary<char, int>();//sort by int value
var sortedDict = (from entry in lettersAcurr orderby entry.Value descending select entry);

during the debug i can see that sortedDic has a KeyValuePar, but i cant accesses to it

thanks for help

sortedDict is IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<char, int>> iterate it

Just iterate over it.

foreach (var kv in sortedDict)
{
     var value = kv.Value;
     ...
}

If you just want the char values you could modify your query as:

var sortedDict = (from entry in lettersAcurr orderby entry.Value descending select entry.Key);

which will give you a result of IEnumerable<char>

If you want it in a dictionary again you might be tempted to

var q = (from entry in lettersAcurr orderby entry.Value descending select entry.Key).ToDictionary(x => x);

but do bare in mind that the dictionary will not be sorted, since the Dictionary(Of T) will not maintain the sorted order.
