这也是可能的:

Dictionary<string, string[]> previousAnswers = null;

这样，我们就有了唯一的键。希望这对你有用。

当使用List<KeyValuePair<string, object>>选项时，你可以使用LINQ来进行搜索:

List<KeyValuePair<string, object>> myList = new List<KeyValuePair<string, object>>();
//fill it here
var q = from a in myList Where a.Key.Equals("somevalue") Select a.Value
if(q.Count() > 0){ //you've got your value }

我无意中发现了这篇文章，想要寻找相同的答案，但没有找到，所以我使用字典列表构建了一个简单的示例解决方案，当所有其他字典都有给定的键(set)时，重写[]操作符向列表中添加一个新字典，并返回一个值列表(get)。 它既丑陋又低效，它只通过键获取/设置，并且总是返回一个列表，但它是有效的:

 class DKD {
        List<Dictionary<string, string>> dictionaries;
        public DKD(){
            dictionaries = new List<Dictionary<string, string>>();}
        public object this[string key]{
             get{
                string temp;
                List<string> valueList = new List<string>();
                for (int i = 0; i < dictionaries.Count; i++){
                    dictionaries[i].TryGetValue(key, out temp);
                    if (temp == key){
                        valueList.Add(temp);}}
                return valueList;}
            set{
                for (int i = 0; i < dictionaries.Count; i++){
                    if (dictionaries[i].ContainsKey(key)){
                        continue;}
                    else{
                        dictionaries[i].Add(key,(string) value);
                        return;}}
                dictionaries.Add(new Dictionary<string, string>());
                dictionaries.Last()[key] =(string)value;
            }
        }
    }

这里有一种方法，用List< KeyValuePair< string, string > >

public class ListWithDuplicates : List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
{
    public void Add(string key, string value)
    {
        var element = new KeyValuePair<string, string>(key, value);
        this.Add(element);
    }
}

var list = new ListWithDuplicates();
list.Add("k1", "v1");
list.Add("k1", "v2");
list.Add("k1", "v3");

foreach(var item in list)
{
    string x = string.format("{0}={1}, ", item.Key, item.Value);
}

输出k1=v1, k1=v2, k1=v3

回答了最初的问题。像Dictionary<string, List<object>>这样的东西是在Code项目中一个名为MultiMap的类中实现的。

你可以创建自己的字典包装器，就像这样，作为奖励，它支持空值作为键:

/// <summary>
/// Dictionary which supports duplicates and null entries
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="TKey">Type of key</typeparam>
/// <typeparam name="TValue">Type of items</typeparam>
public class OpenDictionary<TKey, TValue>
{
    private readonly Lazy<List<TValue>> _nullStorage = new Lazy<List<TValue>>(
        () => new List<TValue>());

    private readonly Dictionary<TKey, List<TValue>> _innerDictionary =
        new Dictionary<TKey, List<TValue>>();

    /// <summary>
    /// Get all entries
    /// </summary>
    public IEnumerable<TValue> Values =>
        _innerDictionary.Values
            .SelectMany(x => x)
            .Concat(_nullStorage.Value);

    /// <summary>
    /// Add an item
    /// </summary>
    public OpenDictionary<TKey, TValue> Add(TKey key, TValue item)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(key, null))
            _nullStorage.Value.Add(item);
        else
        {
            if (!_innerDictionary.ContainsKey(key))
                _innerDictionary.Add(key, new List<TValue>());

            _innerDictionary[key].Add(item);
        }

        return this;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Remove an entry by key
    /// </summary>
    public OpenDictionary<TKey, TValue> RemoveEntryByKey(TKey key, TValue entry)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(key, null))
        {
            int targetIdx = _nullStorage.Value.FindIndex(x => x.Equals(entry));
            if (targetIdx < 0)
                return this;

            _nullStorage.Value.RemoveAt(targetIdx);
        }
        else
        {
            if (!_innerDictionary.ContainsKey(key))
                return this;

            List<TValue> targetChain = _innerDictionary[key];
            if (targetChain.Count == 0)
                return this;

            int targetIdx = targetChain.FindIndex(x => x.Equals(entry));
            if (targetIdx < 0)
                return this;

            targetChain.RemoveAt(targetIdx);
        }

        return this;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Remove all entries by key
    /// </summary>
    public OpenDictionary<TKey, TValue> RemoveAllEntriesByKey(TKey key)
    {
        if (ReferenceEquals(key, null))
        {
            if (_nullStorage.IsValueCreated)
                _nullStorage.Value.Clear();
        }       
        else
        {
            if (_innerDictionary.ContainsKey(key))
                _innerDictionary[key].Clear();
        }

        return this;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Try get entries by key
    /// </summary>
    public bool TryGetEntries(TKey key, out IReadOnlyList<TValue> entries)
    {
        entries = null;

        if (ReferenceEquals(key, null))
        {
            if (_nullStorage.IsValueCreated)
            {
                entries = _nullStorage.Value;
                return true;
            }
            else return false;
        }
        else
        {
            if (_innerDictionary.ContainsKey(key))
            {
                entries = _innerDictionary[key];
                return true;
            }
            else return false;
        }
    }
}

用法示例:

var dictionary = new OpenDictionary<string, int>();
dictionary.Add("1", 1); 
// The next line won't throw an exception; 
dictionary.Add("1", 2);

dictionary.TryGetEntries("1", out List<int> result); 
// result is { 1, 2 }

dictionary.Add(null, 42);
dictionary.Add(null, 24);
dictionary.TryGetEntries(null, out List<int> result); 
// result is { 42, 24 }
