-
ToDictionary() - for enumerations of groupings
Converts an IEnumerable<IGrouping<TKey,TValue>> to a Dictionary<TKey,List<TValue>> so that you can easily convert the results of a GroupBy clause to a Dictionary of Groupings. The out-of-the-box ToDictionary() LINQ extension methods require a key and element extractor which are largely redundant when being applied to an enumeration of groupings, so this is a short-cut.
-
