I have a method that takes a List<int>, which is a list of IDs. The source of my data is a Dictionary<int, string> where the integers are what I want a list of. Is there a better way to get this than the following code?

var list = new List<int>();
foreach (var kvp in myDictionary)
{
    list.Add(pair.Key);
}

ExecuteMyMethod(list);

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
