important edit: not use dictionary in context. uses object.gethashcode() isn't use dictionary key. still learned though.
i have following declaration
private static idictionary<idictionary<string,string>, ienumerable<fishtank>> _cache;
and following code attempt initialize it
if (_cache == null) _cache = new dictionary<dictionary<string,string>, linkedlist<fishtank>>();
the problem i'm having initialization generates compile time error.
cannot implicitly convert type 'system.collections.generic.dictionary,system.collections.generic.linkedlist>' 'system.collections.generic.idictionary,system.collections.generic.ienumerable>'. explicit conversion exists (are missing cast?)
i know dictionary , linkedlist implement idictionary , ienumerable respectively, i'm @ bit of loss here.
you can below
if (_cache == null) _cache = new dictionary<idictionary<string, string>, ienumerable<fishtank>>();
