c# - Extend Dictionary and create instance from other dictionary -

i extending c# dictionary class:

class table<ta> : dictionary<int, ta> {}

but have dictionary, , want create table out of it. tried:

dictionary<int, int> mydico = ... // somewhere else table<int> mytable = new table{ mydico };

but complains with,

"table not contain constructor accepting argument."

i come java/scala background , because c# not have type aliases, way found utilize aliases.

just create constructor accepts dictionary, , pass base of operations constructor:

class table<ta> : dictionary<int, ta> { public table(idictionary<int, ta> dictionary) : base(dictionary) { } }

use this:

dictionary<int, int> mydico = ... // somewhere else table<int> mytable = new table(mydico);
