Remarks
A System.Linq.Lookup`2 resembles a Dictionary`2. The difference is that a Dictionary`2 maps keys to single values, whereas a System.Linq.Lookup`2 maps keys to collections of values.
You can create an instance of a System.Linq.Lookup`2 by calling Enumerable.ToLookup``2(IEnumerable<``0>, Func<``0, ``1>) on an object that implements IEnumerable`1.
Note:
There is no public constructor to create a new instance of a System.Linq.Lookup`2. Additionally, System.Linq.Lookup`2 objects are immutable, that is, you cannot add or remove elements or keys from a System.Linq.Lookup`2 object after it has been created.
