How to check for the keys when you have a dictionary in a dictionary

that is what I thought.  Why have the two if statements?  He said something about if the key on the nested was the same then then it adds to the inner, but I do not thing this does it, it only forces it.

I will put the final result when I get the production program done.  I will not get back to it until monday.  I figure I should put the finally result when done.  Also, I will probably have another question.

Thanks, that was a test program that the lead programmer gave me and I was trying to see how to display the values.  He is busy and I could not interupt him.

Now two things.  I still have to get this all working in the production class.  And I do not understand why he had these two if statements.  Everything is the same except for the year.  I do not know if you could shed any light on this?

if (nested.ContainsKey("1"))

if (nested.ContainsKey("2"))

Try the following:

This is the code that only display the key <1> and not the values.

         foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Dictionary<string, record>> nestedpair in nested)
         {
            Console.WriteLine("A=" + "{0}", "{1}", nestedpair.Key, nestedpair.Value.ToString());
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, record> innerpair in inner)
            {
               Console.WriteLine("B=" + "{0}", "{1}", innerpair.Key, innerpair.Value.ToString());
            }
         }
          foreach (var nestedpair in nested) 
         {
            Console.WriteLine("C=" + "{0}", "{1}", nestedpair.Key, nestedpair.Value.ToString());
         }


 

The output is:
A={1}
B={1}
A={1}
B={1}
C={1}
C={1}

Attached is a file with an example of a nested dictionary.  I am trying to display the contents of the dictionary.  All I am
getting is "<1>" for all the Console.Writeline's.  I am using the KeyValuePair in a foreach.

Thanks,

OK, like this perhaps:

      public static void GetData(string memberNbr, string person, string group, string subGroup, string plancode, string date)
      {
         int year = (DateTime.ParseExact(date, "yyyy-MM-dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)).Year;
         //Is key not in dictionary
         if (!d.ContainsKey(memberNbr)) // memberNbr isn't in outer dictionary
         {
            UpdateData(memberNbr, person, group, subGroup, plancode, date);
         }
         else // memberNbr is in outer dictionary
         {
            Dictionary dict = d[memberNbr];
            if(!dict.ContainsKey(year.ToString()) // but year isn't in inner dictionary for memberNbr outer key
            { 
               UpdateData(memberNbr, person, group, subGroup, plancode, date);
            }
         } 
      }

I use both keys.

My add is not working either.  Here it is:

Here is my add statement:

               d.Add((memberNbr,);

I do not know how this should be written.  I have tried "(" also.
