Convert List<string> to Dictionary<string, string> (C#)

[AlexHy]

Greetings,
my objective is to create a Dictionary<string, string> (or Dictionary<string, List<string>>), adding elements to it from a List<string>. The first string of the list should be the key of the dictionary, the other strings the value.

For example:
List<string> list = new List<string>() { "key1", "value_x1", "value_x2", ... };

And the programming language is...

I would guess c++ but, not knowing every language I don't want to assume.

You can use the new constructor of Dictionary<string,List<string>> to pass in the required elements:

List<string> test = new List<string>() { "key1", "value_x1", "value_x2"}; ;
Dictionary<string, List<string>> test2 = new Dictionary<string, List<string>> 
{
    {test[0], test.Skip(1).ToList() }
};
