Imports System Imports System.Collections.Generic Public Class Example Public Shared Sub Main() Dim openWith As New SortedList(Of String, String) openWith.Add("A", "a") openWith.Add("B", "b") openWith.Add("C", "c") openWith.Add("D", "d") Dim ilistValues As IList(Of String) = openWith.Values Console.WriteLine() For Each s As String In ilistValues Console.WriteLine("Value = {0}", s) Next s End Sub End Class
