Merging dictionaries in C#

Question

What\'s the best way to merge 2 or more dictionaries (Dictionary) in C#? (3.0 features like LINQ are fine).

I\'m thinking of a method signa

Answer 1

I'm very late to the party and perhaps missing something, but if either there are no duplicate keys or, as the OP says, "In case of collision, it doesn't matter which value is saved to the dict as long as it's consistent," what's wrong with this one (merging D2 into D1)?

foreach (KeyValuePair item in D2)
            {
                 D1[item.Key] = item.Value;
            }

It seems simple enough, maybe too simple, I wonder if I'm missing something. This is what I'm using in some code where I know there are no duplicate keys. I'm still in testing, though, so I'd love to know now if I'm overlooking something, instead of finding out later.
