copied!<p>Actually, in C# 2.0 you can create your own iterator that traverses a container in reverse. Then, you can use that iterator in your foreach statement. But your iterator would have to have a way of navigating the container in the first place. If it's a simple array, it could go backwards like this:</p> <pre><code>static IEnumerable<T> CreateReverseIterator<T>(IList<T> list) { int count = list.Count; for (int i = count - 1; i >= 0; --i) { yield return list[i]; } } </code></pre> <p>But of course you can't do that with a Dictionary as it doesn't implement IList or provides an indexer. Saying that a Dictionary does not have order is not true: of course it has order. That order can even be useful if you know what it is.</p> <p>For a solution to your problem: I'd say copy the elements to an array, and use the above method to traverse it in reverse. Like this:</p> <pre><code>static void Main(string[] args) { Dictionary<int, string> dict = new Dictionary<int, string>(); dict[1] = "value1"; dict[2] = "value2"; dict[3] = "value3"; foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> item in dict) { Console.WriteLine("Key : {0}, Value: {1}", new object[] { item.Key, item.Value }); } string[] values = new string[dict.Values.Count]; dict.Values.CopyTo(values, 0); foreach (string value in CreateReverseIterator(values)) { Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", value); } } </code></pre> <p>Copying your values to an array may seem like a bad idea, but depending on the type of value it's not really that bad. You might just be copying references!</p>
