>>No, what is being initialized is the Employee object, which does take a string and an object. What you are thinking of are the parameters to the Add method of the dictionary.<<

Ah, you're absolutely correct Sir. I tripped over between the constructor and "ADD" method parameters! Good catch ;-)

No, what is being initialized is the Employee object, which does take a string and an object. What you are thinking of are the parameters to the Add method of the dictionary.

Actually, the => is more Lambda than LINQ (though LINQ uses it extensively). I use Lambdas are supported in the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha all the time, often to just shortcut event handlers like so:

myCanvas.MouseLeftButtonUp += (s, e) => myStoryboard.Begin();

Its a nice shortcut to creating single line event handlers.

Sorry Jesse, one more ;-)

>>initialized with two parameters, a string and an object<<

Shouldn't that be "integer and object" rather than "string and object"?

>>If you don't speak C# you can't really read this to yourself without stumbling. What do you do with the dot between employee and Add?<<

Sorry Jesse, that should be "employees"
