How do I merge (or zip) two IEnumerables together?

Question

I have an IEnumerable and an IEnumerable that I want merged into an IEnumerable> where

Answer 1

I would use something along the lines of -

IEnumerable> Merge(IEnumerable keyCollection, IEnumerable valueCollection)
{
    var keys = keyCollection.GetEnumerator();
    var values = valueCollection.GetEnumerator();
    try
    { 
        keys.Reset();
        values.Reset();

        while (keys.MoveNext() && values.MoveNext())
        {
            yield return new KeyValuePair(keys.Current,values.Current);
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        keys.Dispose();
        values.Dispose();
    }
}

This should work correctly, and cleanup properly afterwards.
