Parameters

record CsvRecord: The CsvRecord instance to convert.

Return Value

DictionaryString, ReadOnlyMemoryChar
A copy of the data stored in record as Dictionary<string, ReadOnlyMemory<char>>.

Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type CsvRecord. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Remarks

The method copies the data stored in record into a newly created Dictionary<string, ReadOnlyMemory<char>> instance, which uses the same StringComparer for key comparison that was used to create record.
