c# - How to get Key, Value from dictionary when value is a list -

so have dictionary have key, , value list contains strings.. example..

{"key1", list1} list1 = [value 1 value2, value3] 

and have multiple keys , therefore values have lists. want display shows

key1: value1 key1: value2 key1: value3 

so want able display key , value. unsure of how that.

foreach (var value in foodcategory_item.values) {     foreach(var item in value)     {         console.writeline("value of dictionary item is: {0}", item);     } } 

that's have far, iterate on values, know how do, not sure how key values in there well, because iterate on values first, , iterate through key items..

this should work:

foreach (keyvaluepair<string, list<string>> kvp in foodcategory_item) {     foreach (string item in kvp.value)     {         console.writeline ("{0}: {1}", kvp.key, item);     } } 

dictionary implements ienumerable<keyvaluepair<tkey, tvalue>>, can iterate on directly.
